can you post make and model of modems routers and PCs etc

Both machines connect via wireless and the XP works

have you tried the vista machine connected to router by cable

can you do the following

{ipconfig /all}
We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all

-> Start > run {search bar in Vista} > cmd > ipconfig /all
post back the results here


TWO Methods to do that - if you cannot access the internet with PC, then use method 2 to copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here

Method ONE -------------------------------------------------------------
start > run {search bar in Vista} > cmd > ipconfig /all

rightclick in the box
select all
enter
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste

Method TWO -------------------------------------------------------------

Start> Run {search bar in Vista}> CMD to open a DOS window and type:

IPCONFIG /ALL >C:\RESULT.TXT

Open C:\RESULT.TXT with Notepad and copy/paste the entire results here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Ping Tests}
Start> Run {search bar in Vista}> CMD to open a DOS window and type:

Ping google.com

Before we get too involved have you tried resetting modem? Router?
Did you look in Device Manager to see if ethernet adapter (if you are using wired connection is enabled or has yellow "?" under "Networking"? Or are you connecting wirelessly. You really need to give all all information.
