Wireless connection problem with Vista Premium on FW11E

Hi All,

Hope someone here can help me, I've just bought an FW11E online and within 1 hour of setting it up and creating recovery discs I discover I can't connect to my existing wireless network 😞

I have an existing network with a password and have 2 laptops including a VGN-FS515 which connect to it with my pass with no problems, one runs Vista and the other XP, plus my phone connects with no issues.

My new Vaio will not connect at all and says it's a "timeout" issue, I've ttried everything including checking all the frequency settings on the wireless adaptor which is working fine and on the router which is also fine, this leads me to believe it's an issue with the laptop or Vista Home Premium which it runs, the router is a normal 3Com and my ISP is BT.

I have also tried removing the network authentication on the hub wich worked once but as soon as I disconnect the wireless and connect again it will not work and gives me the same error message for connection to the wireless network, is there a patch from Sony or Window that can help?

I will raise this with Vaio support during the week but was hoping someone might be able to help before that as basically I'm left with a 1 day old £750 laptop that will not connect to perfectly good wireless networks, outrageous :slight_frown:

Many thanks for any help in advance!
