    Is the notebook seeing the network?

    I had a vista model notebook on demo for work last week it went straight on to our network no problems at all. There are some isues with drivers but nothing more serious than the one where you get an error message when you connect an old peripheral saying the drivers are not signed for XP. I believe there are some connectivity issues with some applications but I've not heard of any known issues with routers.

    the Belkin 7050 works if you purely use the supplied CD for xp to get the drivers and not install the belkin software like on XP, vista will manage the sireless connection

    so

    1) plug in USB adapter
    2)when new hardware detected put Belkin CD in and browse to it
    3) if successfully added then wireless should be detected , if for some reason it uses a vista driver then go to control panel and update criver using the Belkin Cd
