    I have a home wireless network setup with a Linksys wrt110 router, 1 vista machine connected directly into the router, 2 xp machines connected wirelessly and a tv connected wirelessly. I recently added a vista laptop wirelessly--everytime I turn on the laptop, my whole wireless system crashes! How can I fix this??? Please let me know if I need to provide more information. Thank you.

    If its a crash and not just not being able to connect to the internet I'm gonna guess its a problem with the driver. What wireless card do you use?
