...upgrading a networked PC to Vista? Here's the deal I have two computers (a Mac Powerbook and a Gateway PC) both connected wirelessly to our network. Everything was working fine with the Mac until I upgraded the PC to Vista. Now the Mac goes through these phases where I'm still connected to the network, but I can't access the internet. It works fine after I disable the wireless connection and re-enable it. But that really gets old after a while. I have no idea if this is related to the Vista upgrade on the PC, but that's when it started happening so I'm just assuming. Any help on this is appreciated, thanks!

Vista takes over the connectivity function and is allocating the address based on the requests made to the network.
