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 :P).

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