Not to rat on Vista but some of the drivers have been reported not working the greatest. Although this doesn't happen much on already made systems (Dell) as much as it does on user built systems or if your running X64(64 bit).

flatulatta, do you mean 150 megabits or megabytes? If megabytes your connection is working good. Because Gigabit is 1024 bits per sec. There are 8 bits in a byte and so if you divide 1024/8 you get 128. so you have a speed of 128 megabytes per second. Compared to 100mbps/8=12.5 mb/s
