I'm running a Windows Vista 32bit premium on an emachines desktop with a linksys wireless-G PCI Adapter and i recently got a new router in my house. i receive great connection on my laptop and all other computers, but for the desktop i receive very inconsistent connection and usually none at all. It usually recognizes the wireless connection, but whenever i try to connect i get this message:
wireless assiciation failed due to unknown reason

I have re-installed all my adapter and driver files, and can't seem to find the source of the problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi micktwist2009,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

I'm not certain why you're having these problems.

First, check out the following articles to see if they offer any assistance or hints about what might be the cause:

Here's an article on troubleshooting wireless network connections (again with helpful links): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-network-connection-problems.

Here's a long guide on wireless internet connections in Vista: http://www.techwarelabs.com/guides/misc_mod/vistaconnection/.

Here's an article on how to setup wireless internet connection in Vista: http://www.clpgh.org/usingthelibrary/technology/wireless/WindowsVista.pdf.

If that doesn't work, then try the procedures at the following link: http://www.vistax64.com/network-sharing/284688-network-posting-tips.html and attach what's requested to your next reply when posting. It would also help to attach a copy of the IPCONFIG report for one of the working computers as well so we can see if there are any significant differences.

I hope this helps us at least identify the problem and maybe even resolve it. Please post back with results and attachments or with how it was resolved. If the problem persists, we'll try some other means.

Good luck!
