    My setup:
    Router - Microsoft Wireless Router
    Desktop - Windows ME, hard wired into router
    Laptop - Windows XP, DLink Wireless card
    Laptop - Windows Vista, internal card

    My problem:
    Untill yesterday, my XP laptop woudn't connect to wireless. It was working perfectly, but the laptop crashed and I had to do a system restore but I couldn't get the wireless working. I could see it but for the life of me, I could not get it to connect. I installed network magic and it seems to be working fine now.

    My vista laptop will fail to get access and a reboot will be required sometimes on waking up from standby. Other times the connection will just drop. I can see the network and the signal is fine, but I cannot access anything.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my problem may be?

    Thanks
