To all,


i am not an exoert but am by no means a novice at wireless home networks but
i am definitely missing something here.

a friend has a new sony vaio with vista home premium installed. For some
reason it will not connect to my netgear router wirelessly. I have tried
everything.

I am however not too hot on Vista as this is my first time with it.

The adaptor says its on, but when you interegate it and ask why it wont
connect it keeps telling me "switch on wireless adaptor capability". In the
network connections it is on, the switch on the front right is swiitched on
and the wireless network light on the front is on. The network is fine and
working as i have my laptop connected to it. All security is present and
entered.

It seems to be the computer as it doesnt find any networks when there are
loads in the area.

Am i missing something exceptionally obvious? Does Vista have another "on"
switch for this adaptor?

Please help as the Sony website doesnt. Most of the posts to problems on it
dont make any sense and go round in circles..
