As for the wireless connection, have you checked your Windows Firewall?

For your wireless problem you might check for MAC filtering.

to just hide the sidebar you can right-click a blank spot on sidebar and
select "close sidebar". hitting the sidebar notification icon at bottom of
screen or hitting WindowsKey+spacebar will bring it back. with this
technique the sidebar and any gadgets are still running using cpu and
memory.

to quit it completely right-click the sidebar notification icon at bottom of
screen and selecting "exit". after this to restart it you will have to start
the program from the "assessories" program list.

i have found the "wheather" gadget the only usefull thing on the sidebar for
me, but then i live in minnesota. clicking the "+" button will bring up the
starting selection of "gadgets", 13 of them on my sony. if you pull the
whether gadget off the sidebar it expands to tell the forcast. i exit the
sidebar after checking wheather so as not waste cpu and memory.

1./ New to Vista (Business) and need some advice on coming up to speed
: Any good books? other useful resources i could use?

2./ Something's blocking a wireless connection (Shared mode; 13 byte
encryption key; Using Spybot, Adaware, AVG Free). Any ideas?

Thanks

Might be your clock being so far off.
