Napster - Performing Crappily - Ideas?

So, I use Napster occasionally, and lately it's been taking a really long time to connect/buffer/whatever in between songs... but only on one computer. Everywhere else it works fine.

Things is, though, I can stream content from loads of other places (NPR, NetFlix, Hulu, etc) without any problems whatsoever (so it doesn't seem to be an internet connection issue).

The only difference I can determine between the two computers is the non-working one uses Vista 64 and the working one still has XP. The client loads fine and acts normally except when trying to actually play songs.

I dunno what information would be pertinent, and it'll be sketchy at best right now as I'm not at home... so... any ideas?

tl;dr: I have this vague problem and am not capable of providing specifics to help deal with the issue at this time. :P

Allegedly a voice of reason.

    Is there any reason the one computer would have whatever port napster uses blocked?

    I don't think so... it's my home computer... we have static IPs on the home network, but the songs will eventually play so I don't think it would be that the port is blocked (right?)
