Please read - different to ones below

Installed Vista yesterday on my PC and tried to connect it today over wireless network to home computer.
Before I installed Vista I used XP on mine and had a USB stick to connect to the home network - everything worked fine

Using the same USB stick (Belkin G MIMO) I tried to connect my Vista to Home computers XP. It picks up the network and connects but has "limited connectivity" and cant get on the internet. I have ensured Workgroups are the same, all types of sharing are on but I cant connect it.

Any hekp?

your USB stick was made to work with xp and has not been rated for vista you might want to go to the company's website to see if they have a fix or if you will need a new item...

Since you didn't tell use what model belkin you have, we can't tell you if its even supported. See HERE (http://www.belkin.com/support/vista/) for belkin's list of what has Vista support, what should eventually have vista support, and what won't have vista support.

If your model is supported, you'll most likely still need to get the driver from belkin's site.
