little vista experience here but I'm guessing there is an easy answer, for someone here?
OK.
Put in a LINUX server for an office with 12 people with home versions of windows ALL wireless. plugged in server wired to the router and set their applications to go to it to store and get data. any way every XP box worked great. //server or //ip no problem popped right up. But the vista machines that can use the internet fine cannot see it? so (for grins) put the server ip in a web browser and try to go to the default page on it since apache is running, still times out? so I ping it "ping server(ip)" and the reply changes to ping (the ip of the pinging computer)? I turned off all the norton crap told windows it was a trusted private network? still no dice. if I plug an ethernet cable in all is fine server pops right up? but no go, over wireless and vista. 10 XP machines work fine but 2 Vista machines don't work and ping themselves if i try to ping anything other than the router local network? any ideas? in the ip config i noticed that on a wire:
ip 192.168.1.113
SM 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS xx.xxx.xx.xxx
xx.xxx.xx.xxx<- both real dns servers
on wireless:
ip 192.168.1.110
SM 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 192.168.0.1

thanks in advance.....
 
For some reason Vista did not get the correct DNS server. You should assign it a static IP address outside of the DHCP range.
