I have a laptop with Windows XP which connects stand alone, wired and wirelessly to my Linksys router (Linksys WRT54G, V.1.1). The Linksys website says it is compatible with Vista and I have friends who have connected with the same router and same version of Vista just fine.
New desktop (Vista Premium Home 32bit) connects to the internet fine stand alone to the modem (cable internet) so cable is good, modem is good, router is good but when I plug the computer into the router (NO WIRELESS CARD IN DESKTOP - wired connection ONLY) it recognizes and registers nothing. Go to view Network connections and there is nothing there. Connect it to the modem and there is the network connection and internet loads no problem.
Please help!!! I am assuming there is something I am missing, some little step of some sort. I try to access the router config page and obviously, as computer doesn't register the router when connected, it won't display.
