Sounds like for whatever reason one of them activated when it shouldn't have.Have you tried running msconfig (from the run prompt) and then disabling 'Virtual profile' from starting with windows?  That'd be my first attempt.There's also an option somewhere (dunno where on vista) to tell windows to automatically handle wireless networks.  You can try tracking that down and activating it.If that doesn't work,  perhaps resetting and/or reinstalling the software for your router.Good Luck!</blockquote>
