Vista incompatibility with SPI routers

Posted: 06-09-2006, 02:07 PM
Does anyone have anymore information about the issue with Vista's
incompatibility with routers that utilise SPI protection?

I'm unable to disable SPI on my router (but then I'm led to believe that
this may still not fix it), so Vista is currently completely useless for me.
I'm not going to replace a 2 month old router, just so a new OS will work
with it, so while I appreciate this is still just a Beta, lets hope it gets
fixed for the final release.

For reference, I'm referring to the issue described in this article:

Still, at least I can use Google sites, bizarrely!

I have a Netgear router with SPI firewall, and Vista can communicate with
the rest of the world without any trouble so far. Possibly you could update
the router's firmware?
