Another Windows Vista Problem

[Sue O]

We installed another computer to the Linksys WRT54G router and now one of our laptops with windows Vista keeps going up/down losing the connection. It doesn't say that there is a problem but we keep losing the connection. We have a desktop with XP, a laptop with XP that are working fine but the Vista laptop is the only issue. Any ideas?

When we connected the desktop we first had to do a hard reset on the Linksys router because at first all 3 were having issues with sending but not receiving and after the hard reset that stopped happening.

1. update the firmware on the Linksys router (what hardware
revision, what firmware does it have now?)

2. unbind IPv6

does anything change?
