Connecting to network

Hi,

I've installed the MSDN download version of Vista Ultimate on a HP nw9440.
No errors when installed.

But I can't access internet or my SBS 2003 server...
I have Zyxel P-334WT wireless/router/switch connected to an Zyxel router
from my broadbanddel.

Vista doesnt get IP address. It happens it gets dns and gateway addresses
but no ip address, and it happens it gets ip address, but no dns and gateway
address...

I first installed Win XP on this machine, and everything worked fine. Then I
formatted the disk and installed Vista...:-(

Anyone have som ideas?

After having a very smooth install of upgrade to Vista from XP Home, I had
the same problem with Xytel router. After working with my DSL provider's
tech support by phone, we were unable to secure an internet connection in
order to reach Windows Update for patches and driver updates, suspecting the
problem to be driver incompatibility. Had no choice but to clean boot
reinstall XP Home and am currently awaiting word on new drivers before trying
again.

I had to use tha Zyxel as a plain switch and the DSL providers router for
DHCP - then it worked. Strange... I think Vista "couldn't talk" with the
Zyxel to get IP...strange...
