Have a WGT624 router, and an ASUS P5N32 sli se deluxe mb which has the nvidia network card built in. I've noticed my latencies in games is higher than it was in xp.

Do I need to change or tweak the default setting on the network card or in the router by chance?

Vista tweaks the TCP/IP stack automatically.

The differences in timing might be different coz Firewall, Antivirus, and other applications that intercept the TCP/IP stack, are Not the same as you used before.

My latency in World of Warcraft is 170ms.
Girlfriend, who is using a mac , same router, same server, 30ms.
Something on vista is slowing it down. Using NOD32 if that matters.
