Can you tell me the manufacturer and model of the wireless devices in your
laptops. There are tow network setup tool that you should have gotten with
your laptops. One is the Vista setup tool and the other is provided by you
wireless device manufacturer. The manufacturers management s/w may help.
Can you find that s/w? When you try to bring it up, you will get an error
that says something like, "this card is being managed by another manager",
You will need to find the option to tell it. "I'll manage it from here,
thanks" or equal. If you don't have the alternate s/w we may find it on the
manufacturers site. That's why I ask who that is. I'll see if I can find
it.
