I've been on the phone off-on since yesterday for around 4 hours to get my e-mail to work. My internet provider has given up saying I should contact Microsoft.
Internet Explorer is a little better.The funny part is some web sites load up right away. Pelican takes 15 minutes to open up. To post this rant took 10 minutes to open the page.
I've gotten some tips from searching and it sped up a bit but this system seems slow.

FWIW I had very similar issues wiht my dv9000 . I found out I was losing my connection periodically between my router and my cable modem. Now this wasn't a vista "problem" per se but the rest of the computers in the house reaquired the IP/connection instantly. VIsta took several minutes.
Switched to a Netgear router, problem gone.
