You need to ensure you laptop has DHCP set to OFF and disabled, START>>RUN>>services.msc enter, scroll down to DHCP, set to OFF and Disable.Reboot. Now check that the PC, it must have a login password, must be in same Workgroup, and have Sharing enabled, too. it also MUST have a Name too. The "Other" PC's all need to be the same, workgroup, password, name sharing etc.

When I did this, my wireless began working again.

My computer shows my sgb900 with a good signal but wont connect i have a compaq laptop running 32 bit vista

Hi,

Please check the security feature which you have enabled on sgb900. I dont think that running vista or Xp will make any change.

Dell 3300 Printer Adapter and Vista

Vista is tricky when adding networked printers.  
Add printer by using a local device, not a networked device.  Assume the printer is connected locally to the machine.

I suggest you network the printer and access it through the wireless access point.  

Also, I do not mean to insult your computer smarts, but if you do not have a driver installed, you will not be able to talk to the printer at all.

Wireless connection of netgear wireless router for compaq laptop

When you look on the box that the router came in, you have to look to see what Operating Systems it is compatible with. In many cases, routers will not be compatible with vista. I have a Linksys WRT300N, and it works great with Vista.Hope this helps.
