I had that problem with vista. Turned out it was more a firmware issue with the router. MSN on XP worked fine with the router but not Vista.  
 
Router is a netgear dg834G 
 
Setting I changed was: 
 
Goto device manager,  
network adaptors  
properties (on the network connection) 
Advanced 
Link speed and Duplex (CHANGE to 10mbps half duplex) 
 
If you want to keep it at the 100mbps then you will need to roll back the firmware on the router.  
 
Don't know if this solution will work with other routers, but it is a known problem for the firmware   	V3.01.31 on the Netgear DG834

  My response wasn't in reply to your useless input. I was actually responding to the original question.
