Some routers are not compatible with Vista.

In your case I think the first link applies. As someone else suggested one
workaround that sometimes works is to use a static IP address for the Vista
computer. Another thing that may help is to turn off uPnP on the router.
This forces Vista not to use this feature. You may need to upgrade your
router to take full advantage of the enhanced networking features in Vista.
