Hi,

Have just tried your solution to fix a VERY slow internet, and its still just as slow, so back to the drawing board!

Thanks anyway though!

Hi,

I had the same problem as mentioned above
and none of my browsers were working .
I had to struggle one day !

The given solution is great and works
for windows vista.

Just trust the solution and try if you
have problem with all your browsers.

Thanks ton to the solution provider.

Thank you so much!
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64bits and although my wireless said it was “connected”, it was not able to surf Internet, MSN, etc.

I did every process I found on the web, with no luck, until I found your post.

This command did the trick and now the connection is perfect

Thanks a lot!!!

I have tried the winsock fix and the reset tcp/ip stack. Still unable to go to home page or access the internet. Any suggestions?

If you get the “requires elevation” message, find Command Prompt in Start > All Programs > Accessories; right-click and select Run As Administrator.

I’m a little lost here…after typing Cmd into the search thing, I don’t have time to type ctrl-shift-enter. A black box just automatically pops up. I’m not sure if that is what’s supposed to happen, I’m not a computer genius or anything…

Is the black box the Command Prompt Shell?

Hello, I’m a little bit lost here.. I dont know where to continue searching heres my issue:
I cant access internet from any Internet Based Software EXCEPT for IE7.
I mean I open Firefox and cant even access my Router HTTP frontend (192.168.1.1) and when I close any internet program (FF, WLM, Skype.. etc) The program closes and then a crash message pops-up and Windows alerts me that the program has been shut down to prevent data execution (DEP). But IE works “perfect” and donsent crash.

Does anyone know what’s all this about?
Im running Vista Ultimate x64 and connecting through a Modem+router setup.

Thanks in advance.

I had to post this. Before I found your fix I was about to destroy everything around me. Thank you so much. You are now one of my heroes right up there with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bear Grylls, and Christian Bale.
