Have Vista setup on machine less than 3` away from D-Link access point.

I use the wireless for my test machines and for laptop, never had a problem.
On Vista I am being told their is limited connectivity and the connection
will drop frequently. On reconnecting it is limited connectivity again but
alway`s works perfectly until the connection drops out mostly when not used.

I have used a D-Link DWL122G and a ZyDas USB wireless connector on it both
with similar results. I do not have this problem with XP devices !

Yes, in XP it works flawlessly. Which is not Vista. Have you contacted the
manufacturers of the wireless equipment to inquiry about Vista drivers that
will work with the Vista operating system?

Wow thanks for that Mark, very helpful, bad day at work ? If you hadn`t said
it I might have missed it ! <raised eyes icon>

I merely mentioned the fact to show hardware is good nothing more. Yes I
have checked manufacturers sites no Vista drivers yet. Howether Vista, yes
Vista not XP, did download updated drivers from MS which made little
difference to the problem.

I know Vista is a Beta and hardware may not work, I am merely informing and
asking others of similar. Who know`s maybe even someone from MS might drop in
here from time to time to look, but I doubt it judging by it`s own bugs and
the fact the forum is not pleasing or easy to use.

Thanks for your time, comments and efforts. <thumbsup>

Yes, the forum is not really "Web 2.0 ish" that's for sure. I have a D-Link
PCMCIA card that works without remark at about 20 feet, but have not tried a
USB adapter. The internal wireless card also does not work at all. It
seems odd that even after MS updates you don't have a good connection.
Perhaps it isn't the wireless adapters but is something else?

And sorry about the sarcasm, yes, a very bad day at work, actually. Fired a
very good friend.

Sorry about your day, I gathered something was up. Hope it get`s better
tomorrow !

I do get a good connection when connected , blindingly fast too but Vista
states it is limited. The dropping of the connection may be down to Vista`s
security but seem`s strange ? Possibly Internet Explorer 7 dropping the
connection if not active, I`ll have to check on that one in the help section.

Anyway hope your week get`s better <Cheers icon>

Hi,
Don't know;but if you are using wireless encryption;any at all;
wep;wpa;wpa2; Vista has a problem with it. The stack isn't right yet for
encryption.
Sometimes it'll hold good;other's;just drops. Having that problem since
installed, my short term solution has been to run with no encryption;and use
mac filtering;to keep out the occasional freelance wi-fier. But it's
definitely a Vista issue;that has yet to be sufficiently addressed. Seems
that it happens intermittently;but when I took off all encryption;the link
is stable;and; as you pointed out;VERY fast. But MS definitely needs to
address this encryption issue;because running wireless without it;is just
asking for trouble.
