Prevent network flooding and connection drops
The new networking stack contained in Windows Vista, as with many new betas, has some issues. It seems to drop wireless connections and in rare cases block all traffic on wireless routers, requiring a restart of the router itself. I have not experienced this, so perhaps it is concerned only with certain makes of router.To fix these problems, complete the following instructions
WARNING: Please note that this will disable IPv6 connectivity, as well as the Windows Firewall security, and is not recommended unless you are experiencing these issues. This will also invalidate any network related bug reports you file for Windows Vista.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Under “Network Centre”, click on “View network status and tasks”. In the left hand pane, click on “Open connections”. Right click on your network connection (for example: Wireless Network Connection), and then click “Configure”. If asked for permission to open Network Connections, click on Allow. Highlight the following items and press the “Uninstall” button: Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder Uncheck “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler" Next, click on the “Configure” button under the name of your network adapter. Click on the Power Management tab. Disable all power management items listed on the Power Management tab. Press OK.

Also make sure your firmware on your router is up to date. I spent 12 hours trying to figure this crap out. Tunneling through every possible solution posted throughout this board. Although most of it was a "Do this too..." I saw the light a firmware update for the router. ...............................................................

Thanks for the heads up. I just happen to have the same router. Unfortunately, I already have the latest firmware so it looks like I'll have to try some of the "try this too" suggestions. :) "Gena" wrote in message

The other thing I had to do was change the SSID and Wep Password for my Router. Somehow the machine remembers something about the original config and still tries to connect under the old configuration. So I basically reconfigured the router from scratch.
