Hi glavaa,

There seem to be constant problems with Vista and Wireless Connections.

Have you checked in Device Manager that your Wireless Adapter is working correctly? Have you tried recycling/resetting your router by pressing the reset button? Is the WLAN light on? Is your wireless switch setting utility running at startup?

Many have had some success by installing the latest Vista Only Intel driver from here: -

Intel® PRO/Wireless Drivers-Only for Windows Vista* [V11.1.1.0_VT_DRIVERS.ZIP] (4741KB).

Hi glavaa,

Glad you've got it working. I'm sure you are right - there are so many problems with the wireless connections in Vista, I bet the recent updates were fiddling with something.

See if it settles down after a few boots - if not a good Registry Cleaning Utility may help.

Perhaps ????????
