Vista Beta 2 and Wireless Hardware


retread

Recommended Posts

Since installing the beta, build 5456 on a desktop computer, cannot connect via wireless to the internet or other computers on the lan. Have tried dlink usb dwl-g122 ver.2, linksys wmp54g pci and belkin pci and usb wireless adapters. The dlink and linksys install (per the device manager), but have limited connectivity. Cannot ping the linksys router or other computers on the network. Additionally, I know it is not seeing or it is confusing the router as the ip address is 169.xx.x.xxx vs. the 198.162.x.xxx. Obviously the problem is the drivers. Have visted manufacturers' websites with no luck. Also have posted the issue in other forums. Is there anyone out there who may have a vista compatible driver for the hardware or has been able to conncect wireless? If the answer is yes, please provide the name of the device and which drivers you used to install. Can connect via ethernet, but running a cable is a hassle. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
