Guest SFB Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Ever since I started running Vista Home Premium, I've had intermittant internet and Outlook connection problems. Two or three times a day, the connection just hangs up. If I try, and retry, and retry, I usually get through. If not, I always can get through by closing and reopening IE or Outlook. I know this isn't a Verizon DSL problem, because my wife's machine, running XP, is connected to the same modem and never has problems. We're both hard-wired to the modem, so it's not a wireless problem. On the IE side, it often seems the hangup is when the machine is trying to load some advertisement, on the Yahoo site for example. I've also tried to explore if this is a firewall problem -- I'm running Norton 2007 -- but I've made all the changes they've suggested, with no ultimate effect. I also don't think it's an IE 7 problem, because the same problems occur when I run Firefox. Any ideas would be most appreciated. -- SFB Quote
