Vista has a different TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack than Windows XP. What's a TCP/IP stack, you ask? TCP/IP is the basic language that allows your computer to communicate with other machines. The TCP/IP stack is the software and protocols that make up TCP/IP.
For example, Vista's TCP/IP stack stores configuration settings differently than Windows XP. So, you won't be able to tweak the settings like you can in XP Professional. That's a bummer. But, fortunately, Vista optimizes your broadband connections. It will maximize your broadband speed automatically.
If you're still not happy with your broadband speed, there is another solution. You can upgrade to a faster tier. My tip will help you decide on the right broadband tier. Of course, providers sometimes overstate broadband speeds. To find your connection speed, visit my site. I have a tool that will test your broadband speed quickly and easily.
