Hi,
Is there something I'm missing with Vista and wireless, I have to different
wireless networks and I now
have a Vista laptop in each network that I can't connect to. All
firmware/drivers is up to date on the
laptop and the routers and I still can't get them to connect but I have no
problem with the XP.
Side note, I have had both laptops connected and surfing the Web and having
access to network
shares and what not but they have both since been dropped. I'd be happy to
just focus on one of
them.
Thanks Craig

Some hardware specs might help potential troubleshooting?
 
if you are using the cards own software to connect,eg intel pro wireless,
disable it & use the windows option to connect
