The wireless may not get IP from DHCP. Does ipconfig /all shows 169.254.x.x
IP? Or this link may help.

Yep.. ipconfig shows autoconfiguration 169.254.121.242

do i need to update the network adopter .. or the wireless adopter.. since
i used vista to configure.. the wireless router?? or should i reformat the
xp and re install a fresh copy so all previous configuration wipes out and
then re-configure wireless router through xp?

Try to upgrade the driver first.
