Hi, heres the story,

I bought a new PC from PC world with Windows Vista Home Premium, great stuff i thought.
I then plugged it all in and walla it works... no it doesnt it crashes. OK so system restore..
Working ok now... i think.

Anyhow when trying to connect to the internet with Tiscali Broadband i run into the issue that not many ISP's have got drivers out yet for Windows Vista.... irratating.

So ive phoned their costly and fruitless "help desks" based in i dont even know where but certainly no where in britian.

Tiscali say that cant do vista for while. Month maybe two but to be honest i dont think they even know a thing.

Hi guys I recently purchased a new HP Pavilion laptop which came with Vista Home Premium and I have been having constant drop outs and connection problems with my laptop and wireless billion modem/router (BIPAC-743GE). My connection strength is never above 60% - Always on Good connection, never goes up to Very Good or Excellent - my old Laptop which had Windows XP always had Very Good and Excellent connections. It also never had drop outs.

What I mean by 'drop outs', is that after a period of time being connected to the modem/router, my laptop will disconnect (not entirely) from the modem/router and I end up with a Limited Connection (Local Only). This happens after being connected for only 2 hours or so *the time varies every now and then* When I try to disconnect from the modem/router and try to reconnect, my laptop cannot find any wireless connections until I actually restart the laptop. Also, I am using the HP Wireless Assistant which came preinstalled.

Hiya,

I'm having real trouble sustaining a wireless connection on Vista (release build not and RC). I can connect to the internet fine when I first boot up but then something will take out the wireless connection and mean that i cannot restore internet access without rebooting. One thing that is guaranteed to floor the connection is trying to access files on other PC's on my network (all running win XP).

I have a linksys PCI wireless G card that worked fine when it was in an XP machine connected to a Belkin router/adsl modem.

The whole set up was fine until i used vista.
