    Hi All

    I have installed Vista on a new machine, had some problems finding the right drivers but everything was running ok till I tried to add it to my home network. The problem is I have a belkin 4 port router and every time I turn the computer on that has vista on it it restarts the router and then keeps restarting it say every 10 or fifteen mins, I have tried giving it a static ip address thinking there may be a conflict but still the same.
    When I go to network connection properties there are a few more things there like tcp\ipv4 that I use for a static ip but there are tcp\ipv6 and two things called link layers


    Any help please as to why it keeps restarting the router

    Weird one this and many have not found the cause but some things to try are

    1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932134

    2. untick TCP/IPv6 ( as that on some older routers can cause issues in Vista )

    3. Check for updated firmware or router software.
