Angry Serious Wireless Problem in Windows Vista
Ok here is the problem, i have Windows 7 installed at the moment because everytime i install windows Vista the internet never works straight away i have to reset the wireless adapter a number of times before it will work correctly. I have installed all the correct drivers because i have only recently started having this problem no one else on my home network running vista has this problem or when im at college it connects to the wireless fine and at my friends house, also any other OS like Windows XP, Linux and Windows 7 it works on my wireless fine i dont understand i have never heard of this problem before. I really need windows vista installed because windows 7 doesnt support some drivers and vb6 i have an Acer Aspire 5610z (Laptop) i home someone can help me its doing my head in

oh and when it isnt working it says "Connected with limited access" and i have to rested the adapter from the services part of windows.

thanks in advanced guys n gals

Where is your router kept? In the same room, a diff. room or even a diff floor? Maybe you need to relocate it to get a better signal so that DHCP can supply an IP address to get you onto the network.

Are you sure that your comp is trying to connect to the correct router? Right click on the network icon in the lower right hand corner, click on connect to a network and make sure it is actually trying to connect to yours by default. If there is an another (unsecured) signal that your comp is seeing and trying to connect to what you describe is very possible. If so, connect to your network and set it as default for home.

i had a problem sort of like yours and i think i just figured it out. my computer was set to automatically turn off my wireless driver to save energy. after i turned that off it has been working fine. you can turn it off by going into your device manager, right clicking on your wireless driver and selecting properties, then the power management tab.
