No previous experience wit Vista or wireless etc. and having a job

IME Vista's wireless networking stack is utter pants. Somehow, between
XP and Vista, MS broke it.
I have a laptop that works fine with XP, but which simply can't
connect to my router when booted into Vista. It keeps telling me
there's a settings mismatch, even with encryption turned off and
everything identical to the XP config. No amount of fiddling has fixed
it.
It would seem that something is wrong with the configuration on the PC
Yes - you have Vista installed. No kidding. Upgrade to XP.
Sorry to hear that Mr. McIntyre. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. My
latest laptop (Toshiba A135-S4499) that I purchased in March came with
Windows Vista Ultimate along with an Intel Pro Wireless 3945abg card and I
have *never* experienced any problems networking wirelessly. My wireless
router is the typical Linksys WRT54G. I must confess that as soon as
brought it home and booted up, I immediately began uninstalling all the
crapware that came preinstalled. The very first thing I removed was the
McAfee Internet Security suite. Anyway, take care.
