Vista - Wireless Network & Vista

I once had a happy wireless network using XP. I have recently added some PCs
using Vista. Now some of them work and some of them don't and some of them
work every now and then. I keep getting the message that I am connected but
"local access"

Occassionally some get the message IP Conflict error and send me round in
circles troubleshooting.

I have downloaded the Vista drivers for my adapters and I have tried to get
them going using Network Magic which works sometimes but not others.

I had them all going on Thursday but when I came back in this morning and
rebooted them 3 had dropped out to local access.

Please help

It could be the DHCP issue. Do you use router as DHCP server or Windows?

Sorry Robert, I don't understand, I did not set up the network, I am just
left with it. How can I find out an answer to your question
