I have vista RC1 build 5600 installed on my Presario 6050US. The wireless
card is a Broadcom 802.11g. I have a wireless router at home and a different
one at work. The laptop works fine at home and at work but the problem arises
when I put the computer to sleep at one location (say work) and then go home
and wake it up, I see a "!" next to the wireless network on the task bar. The
icon just freezes and I can get access to the Network and sharing center. I
can't even access the network settings through the control panel.
I have a dual boot with XP and XP works flawless in the above scenario. Has
anyone had this problem b4?? Maybe it is a bug? ANy ideas.
 
Hello,

I'd try to see what kind of settings are different, what kind of encryption
and so...Maybe the drivers installed over Vista don't allow certain
operations.
Try to contact your work's network administrator, so he can tell you the
encryption method an so on. Cross check with your wireless access point.

Hope it helped.
