This has also baffled me at first but it has to do with some choice you (must have) made early
during the setup process of the wireless network on Vista.
When I first setup my network it asked me how to categorize it. If you choose "private" all is
well. However, if you choose "public" somehow all connectivity over the router is lost. I don't
know why but that is what happened to me. So delete your wireless connection and reconfigure
it. Choose "private" this time during setup.

This was posted on the Microsoft Tech Board about issues with Vista
"The culprit is the built-in firewall software on the DI-724U router, which features Stateful
Packet Inspection (SPI). This is not the only router in the SOHO market that features SPI -
Netgear's WGR614 and Linksys' WRT54GS are among dozens of products that offer similar
capabilities. Trouble is, the new and improved TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista falls apart when
it encounters an SPI-enabled router.
One workaround is to disable SPI on the router. That significantly weakens a key layer of
network security, but it allows Internet traffic to get through. Unfortunately, the D-Link
DI-724U, like several other products in the same family, doesn't allow SPI to be disabled."
