have a look at the device manager see if its seen OK there

did you get a wireless application with the device, it may be conflicting with the windows version

Then hows the router set up - any other devices connected wireless

post an ipconfig /all

heres all the instructions

DEVICE MANAGER
---------------------

start>
control panel>
system>
hardware tab>
device manager button>

network adapters
click on the + sign

post backs whats there

also any ! X or ?

IPCONFIG /ALL
-----------------

Ipconfig on Vista
Vista does not handle permissions the same as XP.
Locate the command prompt short cut in your start menu. Right click it, choose run as administrator, then try the ipconfig.

If you want to always have the command prompt run with elevation
Right-click the command prompt icon, choose Properties
Select the Shortcut tab
Click on Advanced
Check Run as administrator

------------------------
TWO Methods to do that - some people have problems with ONE----

ONE ---------------------------------
start
run
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

TWO -----------------------------------------------

Start, Run, 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.


A free application to test the wireless
------------------------------------------


Free software to check signal strength of wireless is netstumbler 0.4.0 available for download from http://www.stumbler.net/
