My Windows 7 RC desktop seems to be blocking my Laptop's ability to connect wirelessly.
I don't know why, but my Windows 7 RC desktop seems to be messing up my ability to connect my Vista Laptop wirelessly. It doesn't seem to happen all the time though..I don't think. I don't remember it happening with Windows 7 Beta. Any known issues going on with it? Maybe related to McAfee Total Protection Beta's network management feature interferring? That was showing my desktop, laptop, router, internet, and two other unknown connections with variations of my router generic ip address of 192.168...... the 2 unknowns ended in .100 and .200 i think.

bump! any ideas, or anyone with similar issue? My desktop running Windows 7 RC is connected to my wireless router via ethernet cable. My laptop with is running Vista SP1 connects wirelessly to the router. When I run my Vista partition on my desktop, I don't have any issues with my laptop's wireless connection, but when I boot into the Windows 7 RC partition, my laptop seems to lose it's connection, and I have difficulties being able to connect using IE8 even after the laptop says it's connected again.Intel Pentium 4 @ 3Ghz, 2GB DDR Ram, Nvidia 7600GS - AGP type.

So do you only have a problem when your Windows 7 machine is on? Does disabling McAfee work?
