Issues with 2nd network connection in Vista

Have got Home Premium installed with 2 network cards, Internet (public) and
Local (private)

Browsing and network completely fine on my Internet connection, I stream
video and everything just fine.

On my Local Connection, everything used to work fine when I first installed
it but now I struggle with everything (possibly after some update?), my PC
sitting next to it, sometimes works sometimes doesn't, very intermittent, web
browsing the same, same with streaming, what figures?
Even tried upgrading the memory, no luck, rembooting makes no difference.

Any answers to this?
I've tried the two vista updates for performance and reliability, no change,
damn

CHecked through those links, thanks.
But
The problem is intermittent, If I persist I will even tually get to the
internet or the local PC but it is problematic.

For instance, When trying to get to Windows Update, it usually takes several
attempts to get the site working and then only half the updates can be
downloaded as the connection fails.
The same is for streaming, my client can broswe the directories fine but as
soon as I try to keep a continuous connection for streaming, it fails.

So it's as if the 2nd network card is now unable to maintain a conection for
either browsing or streaming.

I must point out that when I first installed Vista, this wasn't a problem
and everything worked fine in the current configuration. One day it just
decided to stop working (maybee after an update)

Any other ideas?

WIll check, but i dont think so, Had to add some memory to solve another
issue, so I spent a fair amount of time in there.

No network related errors, or warnings in any of the logs, or even in the
firewall logs.

At one point I even added exception rules to the firewall and disabled it a
few times, no change.
In a nother post I also raised a question on a related issue where I can not
connect to my XBOX360, but that's on all connections

Checked, No errors or warnings found now (since I upgraded the memory)

Can still see the XBOX360 in my network browsing and nothing else.
When I borrowed my friends XBOX I was able to use XNA to deploy a game to
the box, have just tried to do it to my new box and nothing, wont connect.

Starting to downer if it's the XBOX or something on it.

Any ideas?
