Default Can connect to router but not to internet?


ok boys... here is the solution....

The problem is Windows Vista Home Premium does not know how to connect
to wireless networks using the WEP Key...

If you Disable Wireless Security (i.e. No WEP Key)... and try to
connect to your router.... you will have LOCAL AND INTERNET
connection... and your Vista Home Premium connects to the internet
wirelessly...

The minute you put WEP security back on..... Vista cannot understand it
anymore... and your connection to the internet is cut off....

YES!!... THIS IS A VISTA PROBLEM.... nothing else....

And the people at Microsoft DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT YET!!!

That may be your solution......but it wasn't mine.

Until I get a network working correctly I never enable encription. I
had this problem even though there was no network encription.

I think you will find that this problem doesn't have just one solution,
but can be caused by a number of factors.....so, all the solutions
offered here should be checked because any one of them could be the
answer.
