Default New PC with Vista locks up my linksys router

We have 2 laptops running XP and connected through a Linksys WT1100
router and they work great. We just got a new laptop with Vista and it
has all kinds of issue connecting to the internet. We can sometimes get
it to connect but if we also connect our XP PCs the router freezes up
and no more internet. At one point we had all 3 PCs working for about 5
minutes then the freeze up. The only way to get everything back to
working is to cycle power on the router.

It really looks like, as is the case with most people, the router
dislikes Vista.


Check the Linksys web site for a firmware upgrade for the router. Also
check to see if they state the router is compatible with Vista.
