Me again.
Ok, I think I have accessed all the right windows, and clicked on all the correct things (and not on ICS! since I'm using a router...)
Now,
the host computer is XP and runs the network wizard, which won't run on the Vista computer. I have to manually set it up?
the Vista/wireless says the host network is hidden or the wireless network settings don't match the settings of the network. (Ya think???

)
the vista/wireless diagnostics says (in response to diagnosing the problem) to make sure the network settings match the router or access point settings.

Wish I'd bought another XP using computer! I almost installed xp when I had to wipe the harddrive and reinstall vista

... hmmmmm
Am I having fun yet?
What if.... I plug the router into the Vista, and pretend it will be the host.. .will it automatically set it up with the same settings then?
genius at work here folks, don't interrupt
edit: would you believe the battery on the vista/wireless just died?

Guess I have to drag the power cord into the office now too.

I'm too silly!
