    Vista Home Premium Cannot Connect To Network

    Hi all,

    All of a sudden I cannot connect to my wireless router from my PC w/
    Vista Home Premium. I have a laptop and another PC in the house that
    connect to the router no problem.

    The PC with Vista Home Premium just started today, for the past week
    or so it had connected flawlessly



    I had just downloaded and installed Office 2007
    I installed and then the PC went to sleep

    When I came back, I was unable to connect to the router, although I
    can see it in list of available networks

    Thanks!

    You may want to re-create the wireless connection.

    Hi Bob,

    I did that once already.

    I started by using HP System Restore Discs to reset to factory
    settings when I could not connect previously
    I reinstalled Netgear software and then PCI Wireless Card as this was
    added after market
    The PC found the router, no problem.
    I connected and it worked for a few days

    Then all of a sudden, I could not connect to the router and the
    daignose problem software with Vista is remarkably unhelpful.

    I would prefer, and I should not have to, rename my network every
    time.
    This was not a problem with Win XP only with Vista

    What is the permanent fix?
    Thanks!
