I took the final plunge.
After numerous work arounds. reconfigurations of the router, or the gateway, linetests, speed tests, variations between my vista machine and my xp machine, I have reformatted my XP (problem) machine.
I was due for one for the past year; its been 3 reinstalls of XP, 2 years, and 1 memory and harddrive upgrade since I've done it last.
So far, i'm installing all drivers from the bottom up, and we will see where it goes from there. I'll post a final update the moment after i press "login."
