    Hello,

    Try this , to reset your TCP/IP stack and the Winsock ..

    TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

    For these commands, Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.

    Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

    Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

    Press enter after each command , hopefully this might do the trick . Also , try removing your wireless adapter from Device manager and reboot the system , Vista will reload the drivers .

    To reset the adapter:
    1. Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.
    2. Right-click the network adapter icon, and then click Disable. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. Right-click the adapter icon again, and then click Enable. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    The adapter is now reset. Try connecting to the network again, or run Network Diagnostics to verify that your network adapter is now working correctly.
    Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then clicking Diagnose and repair.

    Download from here the chipset driver and install it. Reboot and download the lan driver and install it. Then check in device manager that the computer is not allowed to turn off the lan to save power.
