Vista - New PC with Vista locks up my linksys router

We have 2 laptops running XP and connected through a Linksys WT1100
router and they work great. We just got a new laptop with Vista and it
has all kinds of issue connecting to the internet. We can sometimes get
it to connect but if we also connect our XP PCs the router freezes up
and no more internet. At one point we had all 3 PCs working for about 5
minutes then the freeze up. The only way to get everything back to
working is to cycle power on the router.

I saw a similar thread to this one where the user ended up having an IP
address conflict but that is not the cause of my problem. We have the
router set with DHCP on and all computers are set to aquire IP
automaticly in the TCP/IP network settings. I have tried different
channels with no luck.

It really looks like, as is the case with most people, the router
dislikes Vista.

Any ideas?



Make sure your router is set with DHCP on and both computers are set to
aquire IP automaticly in the TCP/IP network settings.

> We have 2 laptops running XP and connected through a Linksys WT1100Check the Linksys web site for a firmware upgrade for the router. Also
check to see if they state the router is compatible with Vista.

Theres no trace on Linksys site of WT1100

You are right ... it is a WT110.

And we fixed it. It was in fact the IPv6 being enabled. Amazingly
neither of the support guys I talked to at HP or Linksys knew of this
problem.

We've have a WRT54GS and had the same problem at our house we run 2 xp
laptops and 2 vista laptops, 2 itouch, along with network printers and our
wii. My husband had comcast come out and check the power and there was too
much "juice" from comcast going to it. But then it happened again. I called
comcast and they pinged my connection so i knew there was nothing on that
end. Our home network was working we just couldn't get on the other side of
the router. We called linksys and got a tech that actually knew what they
were doing. We took screen shots as they walked us thru.
First update your firmware.
In you address bar type in your ip address ***.***.*.* it will bring you to
a login page. Leave the user name blank, type admin in the password
Under Setup (Basic Setup) change the last part of your starting ip address
to ***.***.*.100 - save
under wireless
(basic) mixed; your network name, 6-2.437ghz, enable, save
(wireless security) wep, 1, 64 bits 10 hex digits, in key 1 put your passcode
(wireless MAC) disable
(advanced wireless settings)auto, default,auto,disable, enable, 100,1,2346,
2347, off, enable, save

Hope this works as well for you as it has us
