For as long as I've had my new pc with 32-bit Vista I've had problems with the Network and Sharing Center. The problem never bothered me enough to really do too much about it but now, after a year of it I'm fed up and trying to fix it. So the problem is that I cannot open up the Network and Sharing Center properly. I click it, it takes about 5 minutes for the folder that pops up to be...

I am using a windows Vista 32 bit home premium notebook computer for which the wireless network detection has stopped working. I updated the driver for the built in wireless card with out any results. I also tried a plug in wireless card which windows detected and said was working properly and this did not work either. This leaves me to believe that something is wrong with the OS. I can get on...

When the XP machine was the desktop PC this...

First, the environment: I have a W2K3 R2 domain - servers fully patched, etc, and all XP SP3 clients.

Many new network adapters on VISTA fail to support NDISReadNetworkAddress function. This is the function that allows software configurable MAC Address. Although the network adapters received "Certified for Windows VISTA" logo, they fail to support this function. Based on my understanding from Microsoft website, network adapters are required to support NDIS 6.0 for Windows VISTA, and NDIS 5.1...

I have two computers, one running XP and one Vista. They were linked by a simple wired home network using a switch. Internet was accessed via dial-up on the Vista machine. I changed to cable (broadband), still on only the Vista machine and leaving the wired network intact. Next step was to install a Linksys wireless router WRT54G2 V1 and run the broadband connection through it.
