Greetings Tanny,
Most likely the problem is Vista's autotuning networking feature. To do so, click on the
Start button, then in the Search box, type in Command Prompt.
Command Prompt will then show up in the results. Next, right click on Command Prompt icon
and select Run as administrator. After confirming that, you'll be presented with a command
prompt. Type in:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Reboot and then hopefully that will resolve the problem.
