I recently have gotten a new desktop computer. Because of its location, it was more practical to buy a wireless adapter for it. The way my house is set up now is like this:
Desktop (wired, Vista), Laptop (wireless, Vista), and New Desktop (wireless, Windows 7).
My problem has gone like this: as soon as I set up the drivers for my wireless adapter on my new desktop, the wireless to that connection cannot be connected to by either my laptop OR new desktop. On the new desktop, it can sometimes grab the connection, and it will look fine, but as soon as I try to do something that actually uses the internet, such as go to Google or log into AIM, it will fail and the connection will drop to no internet availability.
I've done some of the things suggested in this thread, including disabling Homegroup, making sure my router's firmware was up to date, disabling the option for my computer to turn off my adapter to save power, and turning off IPv6 options, but none of these have done the trick. It'd be one thing if only the wireless on that computer was wonky, but to mess with my laptop's wireless connection is another thing altogether
Anything else I can try?
