thank you so much peeps, i really appreciate all the help. I just found out that netgear have been having problems with vista drivers for my router so i think is safer to go back to XP.
What do you think?

As has been said, routers dont need drivers. I think they were referring to your USB adapter, which would make sense.

TB: You're talkin about netgear routers in the business world... don't think I've had a single complaint about their home networking stuff (except drivers for their USB adapters ).

When I first had my Vista on my laptop..  MS had not written a driver for COM PORT TO USB ADAPTOR...  there was soon a download for this after I contacted them...  have you tried connecting to the lan and installing all MS updates then rebooting...  just a thought :-/

Buy a new wireless card, not a new router!

No, I am specifically talking about their consumer ADSL routers - the DG series!

thanks for all the replies peeps, i tried reseting the router but made no difference and i couldnt afford a new router so i just put Microsoft XP on it and now it works fine.
Thanks soo much peeps, much appreciated
