We have recently joined talktalk and things are ok so far. My problem is this:
We have 4 computers 1 windows 7, 1 vista and 2 XP. The Windows 7 and the 2 XPs have connected wirelessly with no problems to our new network but the Vista laptop will only connect to the network using the ethernet cable and NOT wirelessly. WHY????
What can I do to get it to work????
I have an Acer Aspire 5720 laptop, and the Huawei Echolife HG520b router. When I open the net management it says that the laptop is connected to the network, but will not open any internet pages.
Thanks!

google "vista local network access only", or something similar - loads of info out there...most common fix appears to be disable ipV6 and ensure your lappy is set to pick up DNS from your router...

back to basics, then...
check all wireless drivers are correct versions (sometimes rolling back to an older version may help)..
check the Properties of your wireless connection...my money's on something in there not quite being set right.........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
