Vista - Limited Access - Wireless connection

04-14-2007

I purchased a new Laptop with Vista. I have a wireless network in my home
and two other laptops all work fine. New PC connects to the wireless
network, but has no connection to internet. All settings appear to be the
same between the two XP machines and the new Vista. Took both to a hotspot
to test, same problem. Am I missing a setting in Vista? Is there something
new I need to do?

thinking of installing XP on it instead.Will this fix the problem?

See my post on TCP/IP and WIRELESS below.

The TCP/IP is very strange with wireless in Vista, I think this is a known
issue..

Cheers.
