The only other thing I can think of was a warning that came with the one page (and 10 different language) documentation for a USB WiFI adapter I added to our desktop PC a few months ago. It said something about directly connecting to only one of the back ports because the front ports on some computers appear as USB hubs and the adapter might not be found by Windows.
I am not at all familiar with how Windows XP or Vista detect USB devices but would not be surprised if the USB hardware drivers worked differently for XP and Vista.
Well, I really don't mind keeping it in the back of the computer,
but for some reason it's software says that no wireless card is connected,
but Windows do find Networks through it's built-it Network and Sharing Center (or whatever it's name is).
How can I move the control to the software that came bundled with the card?
It worked fine on XP.
Also, Vista shows 4 bars out of 5 for the connectivity strength, and yet it says
that it is connected to the network I selected, but with no internet access.
I configures the ip, subnet mask, DNS and anything else correctly.
However, there's no "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" option in the network connection properties.
Only something with V4 and V6, and I'm afraid that's the reason why there's no internet access.
