Linksys WRT54G with Vista
I am using a Linksys WRT54G v6 with 1.01.1 firmware.
I have a Dell desktop with XP plugged into the linksys and a HP laptop running Vista. When the laptop comes out of sleep mode, it will connect to the wireless network but cannot access anything. It will also stop the Dell desktop from accessing the internet. The only fix is to unplug/plug in the Linksys router. Once this is done everything works until the laptop goes into sleep mode again. Unplugging the router 2-3 times a day is getting old. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Where do your systems get their IP addresses? Is is possible the HP lures the Dell into forming an "ad-hoc" network with "Automatic Private Addresses" (169.254...) when it wakes up? So they can see each other but not the internet? And power cycling the router causes both machines to see a new network connection and request new DHCP addresses that do see the internet? Check the network connection "status" on both machines in each state. Loren
