POP3 Timeout Trouble with Vista

We recently installed our first few Vista machines, and none were able to pop e-mail at first. The pop-client (Outlook 2003 in our case) would download anywhere from 500 bytes to 1.5 kilobytes and then stop. After a few minutes of no activity, a server timeout message was displayed. We were able to overcome this by using the following:

Go to programs, accessories, right click command line (cmd) and run as administrator.
At the prompt type:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable
