    I have a Sony Vaio laptop running windows 7 home premium. Ever since we bought it its been stalling during downloads and while trying to watch Youtube and Netflicks. Generally the downloads start and are fine for a few seconds or about a meg of download and then it slows way down and or stops. Any idea why? What setting need to be changed? Other computers on our wireless network work fine. Thanks

    PROBLEM FIXED

    Updated LAN driver seemed to do the trick.

    Whoa - I guess that is not going to work for wireless, would it. How about a new wireless driver?
