Wireless router and Vista
What is it that isn't allowing me to finish configuring the router? It gets to the point where it wants to restart the network and that is where it fails. It's a D-Link WBR-2310 wireless router using a separate D-Link DCM-202 cable modem. I checked with D-Link and there are no updates or patches for Vista. It says that it is compatable. I think not. I took my laptop that is running XP and it installed without issue. Any ideas?

I used the same router for my girlfriends computer which is running Vista and I didnt have any problems installing, finding, or configuring the network I set up...

VISTA sucks

I think I figured it out, or at least have found something to try.
Nix the install software and log onto the router's IP address and set it up from there.

Yup, imagine what it will be like in 20 years. I bought my first real PC in 1992 and it was a piece of cake to set up and use. Every computer and OS I've had since then has been more complicated with more problems than the previous version. But it's just not computers.As manufacturers add more features to their products to catch the consumer's eye, everything from digital cameras to cell phones will keep us flipping thru the owner's manuals.....

Got it working. Imbedded deeeeeeep inside the hollows of the D-Link website is a newly released version of the configuration software. Downloaded it, set it up, and I'm wireless (incidentally, from my toilet 
).
