Vista can't detect a network!

**jessman** · 05-31-2008, 07:12 PM

I have a WRT54G linksys router that is plugged into the back of my computer. The ADSL modem is plugged into the WRT54G WAN port.

Now just yesterday the damn thign was workign, and now all of a sudden, it says I am not currently connected to any networks. Yet I am able to browse the internet. But, Limewire will not connect, and my xbox live will not connect anymore! When runnign a test for xbox live it failed at the DNS stage. What's going on?

oh and when I click the network logo in Vista to try and connect to a network, windows says it cannot find any when it is freakin plugged right into the damn router!!!

The networks Vista is looking for are wireless networks, obviously, there are none in range.
