I have 3 wired PC's. 1 XP and 2 Vistas SP2. I use a Linksys wrtp54g, firmware 5.01.04. I don't have any internet connection issues with my XP box. My 2 vistas are a different story. 1 vista, everytime I wake it up, I have to reset the the network adaptor, and works fine. 2nd vista, i always have to reset my router to get it to connect to the internet (only connects to local internet). I called gateway and we uninstalled and reinstalled the network adaptor, no help. they told me to contact my ISP, I don't think it's their problem, gotta be in vista. Any ideas?4G

I am having the same problem. Every re-boot, I have to disable / enable my network adapter. I wonder if my network adapter is not compatible with Vista, but I'm not sure how to check.
