Here are some things you can
Here are some things you can try.
1) See that you have the same IP configuration ( different only the IP Address ) at the Windows XP and Winsows Vista systems. ( i think is better to have it on "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server addres automaticaly" ( if you have DHCP enable on the router)
2)Try ping google.com from command line ( Start > cmd )
If this is not working try ping 64.233.167.99 ( the IP of google.com ) posible you have some DNS problems.
Please get back with more data afther you do the tests.
I am having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. My router is not giving the vista laptop the correct Ip address. I am getting a 169 IP address. I turned off security for my router and this fixed the problem for a few hours. XP laptop connects fine to netgear router. Firmaware is up to date on router.
