Background:
=========
I have a Vista laptop and a CompUSA router (at my house). I was having a XP
tablet PC which worked like a charm - I open it, plug in the Ethernet wire
and it gets connected, no problem. But with Vista, it doesn't work like
that. I have to POWER RESET my router everytime to get my internet
connectivity working. Without the power reset, my vista computer can see my
other computer on the network, but the DNS configuration somehow doesn't
seem to work
My computer details:
===============
Machine - Companq NC 8430 (2 GB memory)
Network adapter - Broadcom NetXTreme
Router - CompUSA router
What I tried:
=========
I thought I may need to update the driver, so went to the Broadcom site and
downloaded the latest driver.
http://www.broadcom.com/docs/driver_download/570x/win_vista_32-10.8.0.0a.zip.
After this, the functionality seems to work OK. But Vista started
bluescreening every 4-5 hrs or whenever I went to standby and back (not sure
exactly what's the cause). So, I have now reverted back the driver install.
Any ideas/tips would help.
