After many days trying to get Firefox pages to load I started using Remote Desktop to access my client servers and noticed things seem to hang when accessing anything outside the local network. Also my Smart FTP program hangs when trying to transfer files!!

I tested these issues on 2 new desktops with Vista installed and the same issues happen. The first issue seems to be with the Firefox web browser surfing sites. It loads half the page then hangs.

The second issue is with Remote Desktop. It works perfectly on a local network but when I try to connect to a remote server it loads about 1/3 of the desktop then hangs.

Hello, I seem to be having this issue across all computers on my home network, two XP Pro machines and one Vista Home Premium machine, the one I am currently using for myself. My problem is that whenever I try to run a Google search or even type an...

Ok...I'm running into this same problem on my home network. I have two Vista Ultimate PC's and one XP machine. All of these machines were set up with no passwords. Both Vista PC's can access the XP PC without having to enter any information. If I try to access a Vista PC with either the other Vista PC or the XP PC it's asking for a username/password. All of my PC's were set up with the same workgroup name, and no passwords. I figured "workgroupname\pcname", but if I enter nothing for a password, I can't get in. Could someone give me a hand?

Has anyone noticed that when you go on 'Network' in Vista, it doesn't always find everything it should, even when refreshed.

For example, in this house at the moment, there are two computers, this one and another downstairs. If I open the 'Network', only this computer is listed. The strange thing is though, if I type in the name of the other computer that isn't showing (eg. //COLLETTE) in the address bar, it shows all the shared folders and printers etc.. on that computer without a problem. But even after that and I go back into the Network, that computer doesn't appear on the list.
