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.

Hi everyone,
I set up a wireless network at home with 2 notebooks. The access point router linksys WRT54G is set according to the instructions and DHCP ip addresses option was enabled.

First notebook with XP OS connects always without problems, but the second one with Vista OS connects only with router's configuration web site 192.168.1.1, and when I check the connection on Network&Sharing Center the line between the router and Internet is marked with a red cross.
Diagnose gives me response "There may be a problem with your Domain Name Server (DNS) configuration"
In Properties menu TCP/IP vs4 , IP address is set to automatically, only default gateway is set in advanced options as 192.168.1.1 , and DNS is set with the numbers provided by my ISP.

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.

Hi to all, i currently have a problem to configure my wireless EDIMAX usb adapter, i have downloaded the software for the adapter (zydas) which is vista compatible, and is working fine. I have configured my internet connection to be shared with the wireless network, however when i plug in my wireless adapter the application starts automatically and works fine, but after a few seconds when i check my network connection the wireless adapter says 'unidentified network' and does not manage to connect with the shared internet connection. What settings can i do in order to get this adapter working fine.

I am having difficulty accessing the internet on my laptop using Vista. I have a home wireless network set up which I used for XP, and never had any trouble. Now when I turn on Vista, the connection usually lasts about 20 minutes and then either I cannot connect again or it shows a low wireless signal. Always after about 20 minutes. In addition when I try to use ethernet cables in hotels I have the hardest time establishing the connection. I have changed the power settings for wireless connection to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, but it still happens. Is there some extra security settings or something that is pre set in vista? Please help!!
