Today's Euphamism: "Limited Connectivity"

Still can't get the wireless to work with Vista. I'm even trying a new network card from Belkin (versus the old one from Netgear) and getting the same results. Since the hardware works fine with XP, there's something with Vista that won't work with my network. Vista can identify the SSID of the router, but that's it. Of course, I'm told that I'm connected but I have "limited connectivity". Which is apparently Microsoftese for "no goddamn connectivity worth anything beyond giving you an SSID and signal strength." Gee, thanks.

So, my opinion of Vista is that it's still crap. If the wireless networking can't function - on the exact PC where it works perfectly fine with XP - then there's a problem.

Update: Naturally, shortly after I posted this I got it working. The problem seemed to be with the wireless security I was using. No security didn't work (odd, though that could be by design with Vista, even though it didn't tell me that), WEP didn't work, but WPA did. Of course, I had to switch to the old network card because Vista told me that the Belkin didn't support WPA, despite the fact that it does. Now, this isn't the final release I realize, but you still expect a little more from a beta.
