I purchased a netgear router and have successfully connected 5 other computers to share my internet connection. The offending computer is running windows vista business, I install the software for netgear and the wireless usb. I start the netgear software, it appears to open up on the desktop only to close again really quick. I go into the network area and i'll see my network name and once it connected for a micro minute and then it'll dissapear so i'm not getting connected.
I've run network wizard, troubleshooting etc and no joy.
Can someone walk me through the steps to get this vista business to see and share my internet connection?
A clear explanation of the problem you are having
What doesn't work windows vista business & e machine
What does works
What you've tried uninstalled wireless router and software and reinstalled, software splashes on screen and goes away. Sometimes network will show in window as available and then it''ll not connect and then it's not show anymoreA description of your network

Do you have multiple PCs networked yes 5
Is it wireless or not physically wired to pc1 & 2 wireless all others
Are you using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) yes I believe so i've got other computers connected to it wirelessly and two physically

There are some basic questions that frequently come up. It is best to also include the answers to these questions in your first post.
What do you have for an IP address?
Run "cmd /k ipconfig" (either in a DOS command window or using Run... from the Start menu
For windows 98 use command instead of cmd
A bad IP address is 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.?.?
If you have a router, a good IP is usually 192.168.0.? or 192.168.1.?
ip address 192.168.101.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
What is your default gateway?
Run "cmd /k ipconfig" default gateway 192.168.1.1
Can you ping your default gateway?
Run "cmd /k ping IP_ADDRESS_OF_DEFAULT_GATEWAY" ping statistics for 192.168.1.1, packets sent = 4 received =4 lost =0 0% loss, approximate round trip times i milli seconds Min =0ms max=0ms average = oms
