I just got my inspiron 1525 with vista my problem is I OPEN UP THE CONNECT TO
NETWORK WINDOW AND CLICK MY SECURED NETWORK BUT THE WEP WINDO I GOT THE FIRST
TIME I CONNECT WITH MY XP LP TOP DOES NOT SHOW UP SO IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO
THE IP HOW DO I GET THE WEP WINDO TO SHOW UP?

Do not use CAP letters; it makes it hard to read, and is considered shouting,
lol.

Go to Netgear's site, and see if they have Vista compatible firmware for
your Router.
Also, check drivers for your Network Adaptor.

Also(if you want to share file, etc), have a read of below re networking XP
and Vista

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.

How to give Permissions are there, too.

If you are running Norton, Trend Micro, McAfee, etc’s Firewall, check its
settings to make sure it allows file and printer sharing..

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be
asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer
from an XP computer.

Also, run the XP’s Home Network File and Printer sharing Wizard.
