Hmmm... you may be onto something there. I seem to recall installing a wireless network card in addition to the networking on the motherboard. Could this be the problem?



Nope -- been there, done that (turning off the firewall), didn't help.

However... Installing the SP1 update did help the situation. Didn't resolve it completely, but helped. After installing SP1, the file I wanted to upload to Shutterfly did upload, took a few seconds over four minutes, a big improvement over the several days it would have taken before (judging by the percentage shown on the progress bar when I tried it).

SWMBO's Macintosh uploaded the same file, across the same network/router/modem to the same website in 15 seconds. That's only 16 times faster than Vista would do it.

Tomorrow I'll pull that wireless card out of the computer and see if things work any better, but I think maybe they won't because in order to get the router to work when I set up the network with my computer and SWMBO's with the cable modem I had to go into control panel and disable the wireless networking.

We'll see...
