    I have Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium installed in the computer in my sig and I cant get it to connect to the internet. How do I do that? It says something to change the Network discovery to on and when I do that it wont stay on it turns off again. Does anybody know whats wrong?

    you need to install your mobo drivers or your Ethernet card drivers or USB drivers if you have a modem on USB.
    Also try to directly connect your computer to the internet. No routers or anything...

    Yes it cost me $50 but it works. I had a Netgear and a Belkin one before and they wouldnt work. I have never had Linksys before but I have heard they were a good brand now I will always go with them for networking.
