Does your Internet Service Provider support Vista? A call to them may help to sort that out. In the meantime, see if these "tweaks" help you out:
1) Turn off IPv6 in both your wireless and wired network devices. AFAIK the only thing that depends upon IPv6 is the new MeetingSpace program in Vista.
2) Disable the DHCP Broadcast flag for all CLSID's in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233
3) Turn of the IP Helper service. Go to Start and type in "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Scroll down to the IP Helper service and right click on it. Then change the service from Automatic to disabled. Then click on "Stop" to stop the service.

I did forget to mention that the internet had been working fine since i hooked it up to this computer 6 months ago. my girlfrind did mention that some porn website's poped up on her a few days ago.

I disabled IPv6 in both the wireless and wired devices. still the same issue, and turned off IP helper

With the evidence of the porn pop-ups - I'd guess that you might be infected. Try this link for some more info: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum103.html
