Stateful Packet Inspection. That's where a firewall only allows packets of
data through that were actually solicited from your end, if it wasn't
solicited it is discarded.

And many others don't have the described issue - seems that it could be
a number of problems and not just Vista.
Having the problem only on vista could show that you've uncovered a
problem that D-Link was unaware of or in denial of until now.
Again, having been a network engineer for more than a decade, it would
seem that your issue could be caused by Vista, but is more than likely
caused by faulty router firmware.
The 604 is the cheapest piece of junk on the market, it's about as bad
as the BEFSR41 unit that first was put out more than 6 years ago from
Linksys.
Oh, and I just checked their website and the found that the firmware is
more than 3 years old since the last update.

So it looks like D-Link has abandoned you.

A quick Google search finds that the NIC is as often at fault as the router.
Many people are reporting that installing a different NIC or an updated NIC
driver solves this problem. I am using a DI-604 with several computers using
Vista since the early betas and have not experienced this problem.

So since you didn't respond directly to my question, I'll ask again. Is hard
coding your IPs' out of the question ? Seems to be a simple and cost free
fix to your problem.

My VPN router claims SPI and I have not seen one problem with Vista
RC2 and downloads (and I did a bunch from different places).
Something is broken (and I would suspect your router)

The problem is your router.
I boot Vista , The Desktop appears within 30 seconds, The Network Icon
(in tool tray) ball is Yellow and turns to Green within 15 Seconds.
Vista is *Still* doing boot activities.
A/V software *HAS* grabbed updates, other /check for updates/ has
happened.
Router is Netgear (model suppressed for security. Not the cheapest
one.)

I said *you* have 3 options. You cannot force MS to make any changes,
therefore it's not *your* option. Besides, if Vista is more standards
compliant that Linux or an XBox 360 when it comes to the firewall/SPI or
something, doesn't mean Vista is wrong and has to be fixed. (BTW, I'm
not saying Vista *is* more compliant - just that's a possible cause of
your problem)

I haven't activated my key yet. I doubt I will return it though as I a
fully expect this issue to be fixed or a workaround is found (besides
buying a new router).

If it works on every other OS, including Linux and Xbox360 then it isn't
broken.
You din't ask those questions until further down, which I did answer.

Ubuntu has IPv6 so how is Vista better than Ubuntu? Maybe I will have to
get a new router but D-Link is denying the problem is at their end. Maybe
Microsoft should be calling up D-Link and telling them they are liars and
to provide a firmware fix.
P
Pipboy
OK, I admit defeat.
What router should I get then? Not too expensive,please. This is just for home use and not a work environment.
P
Pipboy
Hmm, maybe you are right. I'm using the mb's ethernet and there are no new
drivers. It is using the drivers provided by Microsoft so if it is a driver
issue then it is still a Microsoft issue and they should fix it. Will try a
PCI add-on one to see if it resolves the issue. Thanks.
P
Pipboy
Not sure what you mean. How would I go about doing that? Looks like the
problem may be the drivers for my ethernet card anyway as someone posted
above that has the same router and no issue with Vista.
P
Pipboy
And in this case it looks like you are correct. I've been barking up the
wrong tree. Still a Microsoft issue though because they provided the driver
and not the mb manufacturer.

By the way, the PCI NIC of choice for me (as it seems to be supported
by EVERYTHING) is an Intel E100 or later 10/100 NIC (95555 up to 95559
chipset).

Get anything that has been made in the last year, new in the last year,
and still has support.
I like the DFL-700 for all that it does, but it's not cheap. I also use
WRTg5g Linksys routers, but I've seen issues with their wireless.
Your problem is that your router was abandoned in 2003, just about
anything that came out in 2006 would be fine.

The motherboard manufacturer or NIC chipset manufacturer supplied the NIC
driver to Microsoft.
Glad the suggestion worked. Was the onboard NIC a Marvell Yukon?
P
Pipboy
No, some ULI piece of crap. Now that I think about it it did give me issues
in Linux too. I mostly use my other PC if I am going to use Linux. Issue is
resolved now. Disabled the onboard NIC and put in a Realtek RTL8139D NIC,
everything is a go. Woot! And my D-Link DI-604 router isn't crap like
Leythos says. Anyone who spends three grand on a router is out to lunch, or
else their boss paid for it.
