Okay, so recently(today), wee got a new laptop with Windows Vista on it, and wee have been trying to get it set up our home network.
Right now, all the other computer's connected on the network have XP installed on them. The main computer is a desktop, wired to the router.
Another one is also a wired desktop.
And another one is a wirelessly connected laptop.
Now, wee want to add this Vista one into the mix.
Right now, when you go to Start»Connect to in Vista, it shows our home network, named HOME.
It can connect to the network, but it says it's an "unidentified network" and has limited or no connectivity. It looks like this kind of:

So, I was wondering, how can I connect the computer to our home network?

The main PC is wired. The new laptop is wireless.
And the Vista comp, when I chose linksys as a network(it has no password) it was able to connect okay.

Does your HOME network show up at all when you search wireless devices??

Yeah, I think so.
Here are some screenshots to possibly help clarify anything:

Does the "Limeted Access" have anything to do with it??

Refresh your IP address? Or DNS servers, there may be a conflict with the other PCs, though correct me if I'm wrong

I get this sometimes and refreshing my setting in command prompt seems to work. If not try setting up a static IP and use the DNS servers found when you enter into cmd.exe

Code:

ipconfig /all

If you do try a static, go to http://www.portforward.com for a tut
