I suppose this could be a driver incompatibility. However, it is also
problem that your browser is not resolving DNS's correctly. Ask a system
admin about this possibility. In the meantime, you can try to uninstall
and reinstall your drivers in device manager, wherever they hid it in Vista.

Browsing
Does this happen on particular websites or all websites? Does it
happen to sites at the University? Perhaps the University has a
proxy server to route and control traffic to the Internet. There are
some settings for setting up proxy settings in the IE Internet
Options. I am not an expert in these settings since I have not done
this in over 15 years. You might need to talk to a network
administrator on campus to get information for this issue.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Puzzling Problem with Vista and Web Browsing
Hello all,
I'm running Vista Home Premium and I'm connected to my corporate
university
network via a LAN cable. My puzzling problem is that everything in
terms of
connectivity seems to be working great. I can send and receive
e-mail, chat
on MSN/Skype, download files, etc. The problem however is that when
I try to
browse the web, using both IE7 and FF3.0.5 I think, the pages either
slowly
load or time out after some time. This seems to be a persistent but
random
problem and I'm not sure where to go. The diagnose and repair
feature isn't
helping much (it either says "Windows could not detect any problems
with the
network", or, when pages do time out it says "Windows can't repair the
problem automatically"). Other times, however, web pages load at
expected
speeds. I don't have any of this with any of the wireless networks I
use
either at home or at a friend's house. Should I speak to someone
about this,
or is this in fact a Vista issue, probably a driver incompatibility,
and
I'll just have to wait till 7 comes out? When I briefly tried 7 I don't
recall having any of these problems. All help would be greatly
appreciated
as it's certainly a mystery to me and is indeed frustrating,
particularly if
I need to research something for an assignment or something.
