Default wireless internet problem with vista

I just installed vista and I cannot connect to the internet. The wireless
adapter is recognized and it states I have a strong connection. It will not
allow me to access the internet however. When I boot to the drive that has
XP still on it, the internet works fine. If anyone can Help I would
appreciate it.

If it means anything, I am having the same problem. If I use my old
fashioned wired router, I can connect...So any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

I have the same problem. Have tried the settings for beta 2 but they will
not work Vista says my key is wrong when I know it is not. Other drive with
Beta 2 works great although it did take a while to get it working.

Default wireless internet problem with vista

Hello Again,
I discovered how to make mine work. I always used AES WPA security
on my wireless network. I was testing different settings & tried TKIP WPA
instead of AES & it worked just fine after that. I can't remember off of the
top of my head, but is TKIP less secure than AES? (Or less reccomended?) I
would like to use the most secure method. I did discover the my network
would work unsecured, but that's not acceptable.

Thanks,
