Yes, it's the right link. Follow the instructions to start an elevated
command prompt then type in those commands. They will disable some of the
advanced networking features in Vista. These advanced features are not
compatible with some NICs, switches, routers, etc. It's a troubleshooting
step to eliminate this being the source of the problem.

Okay,
Have you checked with router mfr website for updated firmware? Make
sure your computer static IP address is unique from the other 3
computers. If you assign a static IP outside the range of reserved
DHCP addresses, you'll minimize the risk of duplicate IPs
Some troubleshooting thoughts.
If you do have 3 other computers that are working on this router and
the one that does not, the problem is probably one of the following:
1. NIC on your PC
2. Network Cable between your computer and the router. (Does the light
that corresponds to the router port you are using light up when
plugged in?)
3. Bad port on the router.
4. Firewall
5. Your router is not compatible with Vista 64 (not likely)
First, does the link light on the network adapter on your PC light
up?
If not,
First plug the cable into one of the ports on the router that you
know works.
Then, click start/run/cmd <enter> (run as administrator)
then run these 2 commands: IPCONFIG /RELEASE, THEN IPCONFIG /
RENEW
If that works, you found the problem - bad port on the
router.
If not,
Run a different cable that you know works from your computer to
the router.
If that works, you found the problem - bad cable.
Anytime you make a port change or cable change, run the 2 ipconfig
commands above just to be starting with a fresh lease.
Look at the exceptions tab in the Windows Firewall and be sure the
routing and remote access is checked. Look at the other items and see
if any others might need to be checked.
Sorry I'm scattered, hectic morning,

I tried that but noticed no effect on the problem.

It sounds like the NIC driver for Vista x64 is causing a problem. You've
pretty much eliminated every thing else. What AV/Security software is on the
computer? What is the NIC?

I checked vendor's tech support and confirmed that the router I am using
supports Vista without updating the firmware.

This PC is normally used with a static IP when other OS is booted. I
tried DHCP assigned IP for an experimental purpose. When it is a static
IP, it IS out of DHCP range.

Please note that this machine is multiple boot OS system and 5 different
OSes are installed(W2K,WX86,WX64,WV86,WV64). So the the same NIC, the
same network cable and the same port are used for any one of these OSes.
The problem is only with Vista x64.

I turned off the firewall but there was not effect on the problem.

As stated above the vendor says the router supports Vista.

No AV software is installed. No other application software is installed.
The NIC is integrated in the mobo and is Broadcom BCM5705 Gigabit
Ethernet Controller. The latest NIC driver for Vista x64 was downloaded
from Broadcom and was installed.

The Broadcom Gigabit NICs caused fits with Server 2003 when SP2 was
released. The same thing may be happening with Vista x64. See if anything in
the following link can be applied to Vista.
Have you tried the motherboard manufacturer's driver? As a last resort I'd
stick another NIC in the computer and see if that works. That would confirm
a driver problem.
