Wireless internet
I just bought a new computer with Vista on it. I have a laptop running XP.
I hooked my wireless router up to my Vista machine and I can't seem to get on the internet with my laptop. I had no problem with my old desktop that was running windows XP. I've had some people tell me that Vista has trouble with the wireless routers. Is this correct? Will an update be coming out soon to fix this problem? Is there some thing I can do? Thanks for any help sc |

Vista works great with wireless connections.
There should be an icon for your wireless connection in the lower right corner, close to where the time is displayed. Right-click on it and select "Connect to a network." You might be able to figure it out from there. If not, tell us what you see there. Gary VanderMolen "acelockman" wrote in message ... I can not connect to internet with vista at all!

Vista has a problem with the SPI function in some routers.
If your router has SPI, see if that function can be turned off. Gary VanderMolen "sc" wrote in message ... I just bought a new computer with Vista on it. I have a laptop running XP.

I just upgraded to Vista a few weeks ago. Was able to get on the internet
wireless... then when I kept loosing my connection and compusa told me it was because I didn't have my encryption turned on.... I tried to set up a WPA-PSK and I am getting a pop up saying it doen't recognize my Key and that I can get it from the person that set it up. (Me!) How can I reset this? also.... when I click on the Belkin g wireless card icon, I get a pop up saying "WLANSTAT configuration Utility has stopped working. A Problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Help! Ann "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Vista has a problem with the SPI function in some routers.
