Vista - Vista and Linksys Router

Hey all,

I just bought a new machine with Vista on it. Ever since I have a hell
of a time logging into my Linksys router from it. Sometimes it loads,
sometimes not. The router works as far as getting access to the
internet, just not to login to it. If I go into my other machine which
has XP, it logs in just fine. What is it in Vista that is causing
this? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. I've turned
off the firewall, tried several browsers, nothing.

Have you turned off IP v6 on the Vista client (It is on by default)
Also you may been to make the router a trusted site in terms of browser
security - although if you have used other (non IE 7) browsers then this is
probably not the issue

Yeah IP6 is off... I can't even get to the router now via Vista. XP
works fine.
