Some of the issues which happened frequently for me were:
- No internet connection if you turn on your computer until you manually disable and enable your adapter.
- Strange behaviour during internet browsing: you have to refresh pages sometimes as they just not load for the first time, or click on a link twice as nothing happens for the first time.

- Download and run TurnOffBonjour.exe http://download.gizmoproject.com/jasmine/TurnOffBonjour.exe
- Rename Program Files\Bonjour folder to Bonjour.bak
- Download and run LSPFix.exe from http://www.cexx.org/LSPFix.exe You just need to click "Finish" and "OK"
- Restart your computer
- Write "netsh winsock reset" in the Start Menu/Run.. prompt. You might need to do it as admin.
- Restart your computer again.
