I was looking for a concise article on setting up an AP. I'm 99% sure the routers have been set up properly, but I'll check if the following path is found to be fruitless. Working on the Vista forums, I've found the same symptoms as a "bug" reported in Vista. Well, it's not really a bug, but the sequence of steps to using Vista with this kind of configuration are more or less hopelessly obscure. A MS Vista engineer is helping sort the problem. I'll report back.

I tryed everything that is written on internet about that but it didnt work so i tryied something radical but very simple. I uninstalled my wireless network from the device manager and then installed it again and so far dont have any problem with multiple networks. It just works fine as it is supposed to work. You can try that for your problem as well there is a high probability that will help you solve the problem On Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 7:21 am, Duane Leet wrote: >I have a question about Eliminate >'Multiple Networks' and Get Your Internet Back in Windows Vista: >I'm helping a neighbor with a problem that is very similar to this one.
