VIsta Laptop not seeing Router

[pmcbrco]

I have a 3com wireless router with a network of three pc's connected, one of them a dell laptop, all running xp, we have recently got a compaq presario laptop with Vista home premium, no matter what I try it will not see my network router although it does see other routers which are in the vicinity. The 3com website doesn't support the router with anything nowdays although I only bought it a year ago.

You don't have anything like Mac address filtering enabled on the wireless router do you?

Good question, Banfa!

Have you also tried restarting the router, pmcbrco?

Your router may not yet know the existance of this new notebook. See if that works...

I am running into a very similar problem. I recently upgraded my Toshiba laptop to Vista Business and it can no longer see either my Netgear wireless router or Belkin wireless access point (WAP). It does show other wireless networks in the area. I had absolutely no problems accessing the router and WAP from the same laptop while XP Professional was installed on it before the upgrade to VISTA.
