hi,
i m using windows vista home basic edition.... i just got an internet dsl connection @ my home and it works well with the LAN cable plugged in my laptop. But when i switch to wireless connection, i am not able to browse internet or use yahoo messenger etc. Surprisingly, it allows me to access my skype account and i can make phone calls from my skype account and talk. i tried to find out whats wrong but in vain. can somebody help me out ? does this have to do anything with vista ? -S |

First thing to check is if the router/modem is Vista compatible. If it's
not, then try these 3 things to see if they help (if not, switch them back): 1) Disable IPv6 in the wireless adapter 2) Disable the IP Helper service in services.msc 3) Disable the DHCP Broadcast flag for the wireless adapter using this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 - John "s2010" wrote: hi, i m using windows vista home basic edition.... i just got an internet dsl connection @ my home and it works well with the LAN cable plugged in my laptop.
