vista - new router - no internet
I tried using a new router for my pc, but I couldn't connect to the internet, I looked at the network settings but there was a problem with the internet connection... I tried to get vista to repair it, but it said that it has tried but the problem still exists (it said something about some ip addresses).... any ideas? (using a speed touch now, trying to switch to netgear...)

I recently just purchased a new HP Pavilion notebook with Vista 64 installed and had problems connecting to my home wireless network with a Linksys WRT54G. I got many errors, including "wireless association failed due to an unknown reason", problem still exists, etc., and then sometimes would connect but only be local access and/or limited connectivity.After much researching, here are some things I tried after reading many solutions:Updated driver for my Broadcom adapaterUpdated firmware for my routerTried to set static IP addressEdit my registry according to this Microsoft solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us But, ultimately the thing that worked was to set my router to only broadcast in G, and I changed it to broadcast in channel 11 from channel 6. There must has been some interference somewhere.... who knows.I hope that helps. I am not techie by any means, this was just a similar frustrating problem for me and I wanted to share my solution.
