Vista connection issues.

I have three machines in the house. 1 XP PRO SP2, 1 XP home SP2 and i just built a new Vista 64bit machine.

I have them all networked wirelessly thru a Motorola modem/gateway. they can all see each other and share folders, for the most part.

Only the Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine drops internet connectivity. There is no special time or event that causes this. It just drops and I cannot find the modem/gateway. I cannot ping from cmd prompt, and no matter what I try, it just says that no network can be found. Most times, a reboot will sort it out... for a while.

Any ideas, suggestions, advice appreciated.

Oh yea.... the only other issue I have is that I cannot access the hard drives in the Vista machine from the XP machines. I CAN access the external hard drive connected to it and I CAN access the shared folder... but cannot access the C or D drives (internal sata drives). I am sure this is just a simple setting issue, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, it will save me loads of time.

Thanks in advance,
🙂

Check for a firmware upgrade for your router. Vista (properly) uses the TCP/IP spec and many routers had problems with this (XP didn't), many have new firmware to deal with Vista compatibility.
