Problem connection to internet with vista / IE7 possible solution
This may help someone out if they are having internet connection issues with Vista and IE7 on xp
I upgraded a laptop yesterday to Vista. I did it as a brand new install, formatted the drive etc etc.
Once installed I set up my wireless connection and I obtained automatically a ip address that was allocated however I couldnt connect to the internet.
Also I couldnt connect to the router browser interface either.
Turns out that IE7 is built on new technology and your router may need a firmware upgrade.
I use a speedtouch 585v6 and it was using firmware 6.1.4.3 this wasnt compatible with IE7.
One firmware update and its working champion again
I dont know if it is just this router that suffers but I imagine there could well be others
