I have a Gateway wireless laptop with Vista on & trying to connect to my home BB. It tells me that it is connected and getting an excellent signal but when i look at the connection status it is to local only and i also get the message  - limited connectivity.

The setup is - BB modem to netgear hub, ntwk cable to PC (works ok), ntwk cable to Wireless-G access point WAP54G and trying to get that with the laptop. The connection works ok if i plug a ntwk cable into the laptop, also it did let me once long enough to load the Google page then it went again.

I have tried removing all security, putting it back on & double checking, resetting access point.

I was going to update the access point firmware but the Linksys web site says that this model will work ok with Vista. I did however download a tar.gz 128mb file from their web site but can't find out what to do with it.

Does anyone have any sensible ideas ?.
