Ok, so I got my Dell about 4 months ago …

It is running Vista 32 bit…

I just recently moved and have to use DSL from Yahoo/ATT etc. …

I got service, all the bells and whistles etc. yesterday…

Everything works great on my tablet PC that is running XP …

I can’t even get an IP from the 2WIRE box from my Desktop running Vista, it doesn’t seem to even know that I’ve connected it …

So, I call ATT/Yahoo to troubleshoot with a technician, after 45 mins. still no answer, other than him telling me it’s my network card …

Nope not that, just to prove him wrong I brought it in to work today and tested it - works great! …

So, any suggestions? Has anyone else had to deal with this? Is this a driver problem, a firmware problem, or a Vista problem…? ATT/Yahoo says that everything they supplied me with is Vista compatible … I call BS.

Help please! 🙂

Thanks,  
Boon.
