Wireless = Internetless
Hi gang,
I'm having a lot of problems with my Internet connection since going wireless. I have 2 computers sharing the Internet connection; 1 laptop PC running on WinXP which has no problems at all. The other which I use more frequently to surf the Net, runs on Vista. The system seems to do a lot of work in the background - but I don't know what - and frequently gets to the 'Not Responding' stage where I have to turn off and restart in 'Safe Mode'. Could it be the joys of yet another cockup by Bill Gates or is there a real reason to this problem? Very grateful for all your help, Chris

I have issues as well. My ISP has been out to my house 5 times since i got this new laptop with Vista. They cant seem to figure out the problem. I am ALMOST convinced at this point its a Vista issue. I too can not connect or stay connected to the internet via Wireless. I am able to stay connected if i hard wire the Ethernet cable directly into my laptop. I do not want to do this. I need to be able to stay connected 100% as well as my daughter. My daughter has XP in her PC and she runs wireless off the router. She has no issues staying connected. Very frustrating. I am so dissapointed in Vista. -- jeasterby

I am so dissapointed in Vista. And yet, hundreds(1) of people, including me, successfully use WiFi with Vista; probably a clue that your problem is not caused by Vista. Note 1: OK, maybe more than hundreds -- Cheers, Bob (*not* a Vista fan)

I have an NTL Cable modem connected to a Netgear router via a USB Adaptor I think. The PC in question is an: Intel Core 2TM Quad Processor X6600 (2.4 GHZ 8MB L2 Cache; 1066MHZ FSB) WinVistaTM Home Premium 32bit; 2GB DDR RAM 667MHZ; 320GB Hard Drive with 8MB Buffer; 256MB NVIDIA 8500GT PCI-Express Graphics with TV-Out & DVI; Midi Tower PC Case; Multi format 18x Dual layer DVDRW; Sound blaster compatible audio. Sorry to bore you with all that, but I'm not sure if it helps to hopefully get a cure to the problem.
