quick answer to all the problems....
I only read the first paragraph - and stopped read -
If you now have a router - dump the WLAN config on your Vista computer,
and setup everything to run from a "normal" LAN with the router at the
center,
and the router connecting to the Internet.
Once you get a real network running, things will be easier to diagnose.
Also - then each problem can be handled in a different question
vs having them ALL in one thead, as in .... my network is broke, please fix
it

Hi everyboy, I could really use some help connecting my computer to my
wireless home network. Let me first try and explain what I'm trying to
do. Since my wireless router doesn't connect to the internet (a
completely different problem altogether, but if anybody knows why my
router does not connect to a DNS, but my computer does... Please help
me with this too :) ), I got the idea to plug my internet connection
directly into my (vista ultimate based) computer, and then use WLAN to
share the connecttion wireless into the rest of my house. This should
be possible as there is a sharing option that allows other users to
connect to the internet through your computer under Vista. This way, I
avoid DNS problems with my router and instead use it as an access
point for my wireless devices.
So far, so good (I'd think), but here is where the trouble starts. Now
I have a notebook and a PDA that have innate WLAN functionality. After
setting up my wireless router (most basic settings: everything
automatic, simple (64-bit HEX) WEP key), I could connect to it with my
notebook and PDA. For my desktop PC, I'm using a USB adapter, which is
recognized by Vista immediately. Now for some reason, I cannot find my
wireless network (or any other wireless network for that matter) with
my desktop... And I have _no_ idea why my desktop cannot find any
wireless networks, while my PDA and notebook can.
So my question is:
* How can it be that my notebook can find wireless networks that my
desktop cannot find with a wireless USB adapter?
And optionally, if you have any answers on the following issues, I'd
appreciate it:
* Is my set-up (WAN --> desktop --> wireless --> homenetwork) for
sharing internet possible, or should I just use this wireless network
to share files between computers and forget about internet-sharing
altogether?
* Does anybody know how it is possible that my computer does not
connect to the internet through my router (cannot connect to a DNS),
but CAN connect to the internet directly? I find this to be such a
weird problem...
A lot of questions, I'm sorry. Thanks in advance for your time!
best regards,
Leon
