I recently updated to Vista SP1, which went fine, until after I rebooted a second time, I am unable to get network connectivity. I can't even get to my Linksys router. The other computer on the network can get out fine, and when I switch over to XP 64, it's fine there too. And the problem only started after I upgraded to SP1.

Anybody have a possible solution?

The network adaptor, select "properties configure > power management" and make sure there are no ticks in any of the boxes, if there are un-tick them. When all done do the same as above and then instead of "power management" click on the "driver" tab and then select "update driver > browse computer for drivers" then select a new driver for this network adaptor. When all done and dusted reboot your computer and see if you can see your router, if not you might need to go into the "make new network connection" section and do another set up.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

Check that network discovery is enabled.
