It may not be compatable as is with the Vista system. Check with your Router or Switch manufacturer to see if there is a Firmware upgrade for your device.

Every software should be matching with Vista, i got a new Vaio laptop with vista installed on mid of August from US & still wasn't to sort the internet problem out, i m based in Cairo, Egypt.

People need to give themselves a chance to get used to it. Not just be like, "where's X on Vista, ah screw it, I'm downgrading". I can understand when people need to downgrade to XP for crucial software that doesn't yet support Vista, but otherwise, just give Vista a chance. I've been using Vista since it went retail (Jan. 30, 2007) and I've never had a problem with it. Since then I've installed it on 2 other computers and bought a laptop with Vista installed on it. There's been no problems on any of those 4 computers. I think this is a bad idea… People need to give themselves a chance to get used to it.
