    I'm really, really concerned. I got a Toshiba p305 Laptop with Vista Home Premium and, from two days to now, I can't make it connect to the internet.

    I'm typing from my desktop, which is connected. The network here @ home is as the following: the ISP cable comes from the wall (duh!), goes behind the modem (Motorola SBV5120) and, from there, a ethernet (blue) cable is connected to the Wan Port of my Dlink 524DI router. From one of the ports I connect to the desktop's ethernet card using a cable (not wireless), but other notebooks in my home (when things are ok) find my wireless network automatically. One of them, an Asus EEE using XP is fine, but this Toshiba running Vista can't connect to any of the networks.

    Sometimes it finds the networks in the neighbourhood, sometimes it just don't list any, and, in either way, I can connect "locally" at best, but not to the Internet. Even when only local, I can't have my FTP work between them - Filezilla (my ftp client) displays this message in the logs: "connection attempt failed with "ENETURNREACH - unreachable network"

    What can I do? :(

    Edit: nevermind.
