Default XP divers won't work under Vista

It seems that Vista has struck again, I had the same problem you have when I tried to connect my son's (then) new Vista PC wirelessly to my modem. This should have worked especially as my other son's laptop and PC worked flawlessly while being further away and running under Windows XP.

The way I solved my son's problem, after weeks of trying to get "flakey Vista" to work with my modem's XP wireless driver was by going to my modem's website and downloading the (beta) Vista wireless driver.

The simple fact is that XP drivers are not stable under Vista, whether you set the O/S to run the driver in XP mode or not, I was only able to get my son's Vista O/S PC to connect to my modem by getting the driver specially written for Vista.
