I recently bought at&t U-verse and I got a wireless router, 2WIRE, I think it's called. Anyways the desktop the router is connected to has XP, and I have two VAIO laptops one an XP and the other Vista.

Now, when I use my XP it works fine 100% of the time, but when I use my Vista its a 50/50 chance. So I'm sure it's my computer.

Vista: When I connect to my wireless internet connection it can go both ways, but either way says I'm still fully connected to the wireless network. Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting works, usually I just have to wait it out while I keep refreshing to see if I get the connection back. I get this screen after about 30s-1min of waiting for a page to load;

I'm using Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN and idk if this is important but "Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller"

Model: 3800HGV-B Gateway

Broadband Link Connection Speed: • Incoming: 25216 kbps
• Outgoing: 2048 kbps


If you can help me I'd be extremely grateful, I just want to use my wireless internet :-(
