Sluggish Connecting to Some Websites

[Guest]

Hi,

I have loaded and reloaded Vista on my Dell Inspiron laptop. I have
configured and used together and separately both the wired and wireless
connections to my Linksys router.

When I try to connect to some websites (http://hosting.viux.com/), in this
case the web hosting provider I am using, the page pulls up very slow or not
at all. Similarly, when I try to syncronize Microsoft Mail or Outlook 2003
with my mail server it times out. Interestingly enough, I can go to another
of my computers running Windows XP and try the same thing with no delay
whatsoever.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Is it slow if you try to connect to
http://hosting.viux.com/ using Windows Vista? I am guessing this has
something to do with the default security or privacy settings in Vista.

I would appreciate any thoughts...

same thing. Accesses fine in XP.

I think I may have found a lead. See "A painful Vista networking bug | Ed
Bott's Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com" http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=10. I
am going to look at using another router and see if that solves the issue.
