Good overview so can anyone help me out there please. I have a netgear wireless router and am trying to hook up two Sony Vaios to it both with Centrino technology. I get the signal on the vaio that the wireless is up and running but here is the problem. I have a full reading on packets sent but a big fat zero for data packets received and therefore cant hook up to the internet. I have tried turning off the built in wireless and using an external card. This works for a short while then they too exhibit the same problem. I have used xp to reset the network but it still doenst work. Can anyone suggest an answer

  Under admin tools, go to services. Disable Windows Zero Configuration. Then use the software included with your hardware to configure your network. It only works for 5-20 minuets I'm guessing because it fails to update the IP adress. Just a windows problem. The built-in firewall won't cause this problem.

  Try disabling XP's built-in firewall.
  Set the router to be pingable and see if the Vaios can ping it.
