Vista Tutorial - Wireless Internet

I have just purched a new portable computer (Acer-Travelmate) and tryes to
log on to our exsisting wireless internet. But it fails.

The wireless internet is open (not protected), since we often have
friends/family coming with their computers.

Everyone can easly log on to the web, except this new computer.

The only difference I can think of is the new Windows-Vista that the new
computer has installed.

I can se the wireless internet, but when I ask the computer to use it,
Windows Wista tells me that it is unable to log on. And it tells me that it
can´t tell me why.

I have tryed everything I know about sharing files, configuring network and
firewall, but nothing works.

Why should Vista refuse to log on to a net, that EVERYONE ELSE just jumps
right on. I don´t get it.

Seems, like I had that problem. Until I went in and setup the connection
manually versus letting Vista just browse and connect to an open VPN. Have
you added your network to the Preferred list of wireless networks ?
