| | Vista and Linksys VOIP wireless router WRTP54G I have this Vonage phone/wireless & wired router setup that currently works in wired mode with two different XP laptops. I connect the coax from the cable outlet to my cable modem, an ethernet cable from the cable modem to the Linksys router, and another ethernet cable from the router to the laptop. I power-up the cable modem first and let it get itself set, then the Linksys router. The XP laptops are set with TCP/IP set to acquire IP addresses automatically, and this works fine - they can see the network and IE works and all that. However, a new laptop running Vista connected exactly the same way says it finds an unidentified network and won't connect. If I remove the Linksys router from the setup and run the ethernet cable directly from the cable modem to the laptop, the network connection works fine. Any ideas? Thanks! |
