Default Can Connect to 3Com Access Point - Can't surf

Windows Vista laptops can connect to 3Com access points but can only get
google.com and expedia.com. Outside of those two sites, I can not find any
other sites that I can reach. I am getting DNS info, DHCP address.

Tested this with a brand new Toshiba U305-S5127. Windows XP SP2 32 -
Connected - surfed, pinged, tracert all successful.
Same laptop different hard drive - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 connected,
signal strength 100% (I was sitting under the AP) can not surf, can not ping

Contacted the vendor that supplied the 3Com AP's - he contacted 3Com.
3Com reports that the problem is he device driver used in Vista. This sounds
like a hardware vendor passing the buck.

Anyone have any ideas? I need to have a working solution ready to roll out
in less than 11 days
