netgear wg111v2 wireless adaptor/vista/limited connectivity/

in Techie Stuff
hello,
well to cut a long story short, my wireless adaptor isn't working on my new machine (with vista basic home edition installed)...It all worked fine on xp...so i downloaded a patch for the adaptor to work on vista. Still sitting at only limited connectivity...after much help from a kind of techie friend..we found out that a new i.p address isn't being assigned to the adaptor (when we go into cmd) and that that may be the problem. I s there a box or something i havent checked/unchecked on vista to allow this to happen? or anyone else with same problem who managed to suss it out...
thanku in advance

Vista doesn't yet appear to be compatible with Netgear software/drivers. Try uninstalling the Netgear software, then plugging in the adaptor and let Windows own software/drivers run it. This worked for me.0
