What type of wireless network card do you have? Reason i ask is if your old pc was running on XP and your wireless network card was configured for that theres a chance it wont run on Vista.

im not running the pc on a wireless card, its gonna be plugged into the router if that makes sence

the laptop has a built in wireless card,, that STILL reconises the router,,,, just cant get it to connect to the net on it

if i disconnect the router then the pc will be on the net like normal
