Vista in XP home network

[Guest]

I have a home network based on wireless modem/router with 3 win xp computers
and network printer. My network works properly, every computer has internet
access, can use my printer. Lastly I tried to connect a vista laptop but
without any success and I have completely no idea what is wrong. When I
connect to the router status of the connectivity is "connected with limited
access". I can browse the internet but there is no connectivity to the
network. I already tried cable connectivity (vista - router), no network at
all. it may be a problem with my router (Philips) which is not "compatible"
with vista.

I tried as well to directly connect xp and vista laptops, they can't see
each other. It worked before with 2 XPs.

Any ideas?

Try connecting the Vista laptop by Ethernet. If you're getting "Limited or no
connectivity" from a Vista computer connected by Ethernet, but not from XP
computers, you need to check your DHCP client.

If the problem goes away when connected by Ethernet, then you need to check the
Vista WiFi client. Just start by narrowing down the diagnosis.
