First I have concern about you not being able to cut and paste from the DOS box.
That was one of the nice additions to Vista!
Anyway, try going to this link and trying the MS suggestion, but I don't think this
is your problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932134. You should not have any problem running with
the IPv6 turned ON. There was a small hiccup early on, but the fix I listed above
and later SP1 pretty much eliminated that, yours is the first I have heard of since
IF that turns out to be the problem.
Check for new driver for you LAN. Also on that same line of thought, check to see
the date on the driver for the current driver. Considering that it calls it self
a Marvell Yukon is not really a problem, but may indicate that it has recently installed
a generic driver instead of the manufacturer's driver. 20 or 30 different brand name
companies may use a standard chip by some manuf. that you never heard of and put
their name on the card. That is nothing new. Sometimes though when the computer reads
that chip's ID info and starts updating with generic drivers things can go bad (or
sometime fix a problem)! You might try to 'Roll Back' that driver.
Next take a look at this link and see if you are running in the Hybrid Sleep mode.
That could change things.

Look in your BIOS settings for "ACPI" or anything relating to it. Try changing that
setting i.e. On to Off or Off to On. Document changes before you do them, so you
know what you have done when and why. ACPI is for 64 bit processors and though most
machines today are, I don't know how this might be affected when using a 32 bit OS
as opposed to 64 bit.
Take a look at these items and let me know.
