Vista Problem - Encryption?

My son has been having difficulty logging in to his course on his College website since acquiring Windows  Vista (today) and I am wondering if there is a problem with Windows Vista and certain College websites, and if so, what is the fix?
 
Essentially, what happens is that the browser searches without being able to make connection once he puts in his login and password.
 
He's just acquired this Operating System. He's able to access the site from computers using Windows XP, though.
 
If there is no known problem with Vista, could you recommend what else might be causing this problem, and ways of resolving the issue
 
Hope you will be able to provide an answer asap.

    Does the Internet explorer time out?
     
    Does he use DSL or high speed?
     
    I had to adjust the MTU value in my wireless router. I was receiving a lot of timeouts. It may be an IE7 issue and not a Vista issue.
