I have a wireless network set up and working with a dlink DI 524UP and a
siemens speedstream modem. This has two vista business laptops that work seamlessly on this network already but for some reason my hp m8080a vista home premium desktop isn't able top connect to the network. It is well within signal range because the strenth is excellent and the network shows up in the connection locater but windows or the router will not allow me to connect to the router. This is confirmed by the network map which shows my computer and the internet icons conected by a link with a X through it but no router in the middle of the two. I tried adding the connection manually but to no avail. Is there something significantly different between the two OS's that is stopping me from connecting. I'm guessing its something in my home premium settings as my other laptops connect perfectly with vista business. Can somebody help me, i'm at my wits end with this, noone at tech support from either dlink wants to help. |

Having the NSC show no link between you and the Internet simply means you
aren't connected, so that's not part of this issue. When you say that Windows "won't allow you to connect," what do you mean? Is there an error message? Does it say you've connected, but fail to actually get connectivity? Having Home Premium instead of Business would make a difference using 802.1x authentication, but I'm assuming you're not, for a home network, so no -- this sounds like either a driver or a configuration issue, off-hand.
