Wireless connection problem with WA3002-g1

Happy to join the bandwagon on this guys. Same problem here - Vista laptop won't connect wirelessly to Wa3002-g1 BSNL router whereas my WinXP laptop does. Seems to be a Vista problem and I've followed through with a registry modification for disabling the DHCP broadcast flag on Vista (found on a MS page) but even that won't work. The problem is that once you connect to the router, you only get local connectivity and not internet connectivity.
Appreciate your help.
Edit: MS page with instructions on modifying vista registry (courtesy vinuthomas.com)
Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers

But the trick was simple: the Default Route has to be set to 'Yes'. You missed this point.
from old thread.
1.As I don't have the modem please post a screen shot of this page.
2. Did you disable IPv6?
3. FreeImageHosting.net Hosting Service
Netbios over IP : check "default" and try.
Please mention briefly present position., with both LAN and wireless enabled.( even if not working)
post Ipconfig/all if you find any useful info.

Hi Essbebe,Thanks for the welcome and the reply. To answer your questions,Yes, I've disabled IPv6 and Netbios over TCP/IP is set to default.My observations are as follows:- there's an issue with the DHCP server on the router as Vista struggles to make the connection when set to "Obtain IP" and is unpredictable. The connection succeeds sometimes and often does not.- When set to static, the connection was instantaneous.In both cases, the connectivity was limited to Local only.TIA

5. Click ‘Save’.
Page5
VERY IMPORTANT: After following the above mentioned steps, switch off the router’s
power supply and wait for 10 seconds before again switching it on. Wait till all the concerned LED lights glow steadily.
Login into to the router management portal. If all goes well, you will be allotted an IP address, DNS servers and gateway
1. Click on ‘Interface Setup’ and then on ‘LAN’.
2. Change the ‘IP Address:’ to 192.168.x.y; where x and y are numbers between 1 and
255.
3. Under ‘DHCP’, set the ‘DHCP’ to ‘Enable’. Under the ‘DHCP Server’ section, change
the ‘Starting IP Address’ to 192.168.x.z; where x has to be the same number as in
step (2) and z can take any number between 1 and 255.
4. Change the ‘IP Pool Count’ to the number of computers that usually connect and use
the internet over this router. Ex: If you have a desktop and a notebook accessing the
internet using this router, set the number to 2.
5. Click on the ‘Current Pool Summary’ button to see all the computers currently
connected to your router. This can be used to spot a computer not belonging to the
network
6. Click ‘Save’
7. Now, click on ‘Wireless’ section and under ‘Wireless LAN’, change the ‘SSID’ field to
any name that you would like to name your network.
8. Under the ‘Authentication Type’ drop down menu, select ‘WPA2-PSK’.
9. In the ‘Encryption’ drop down menu, select ‘AES’.
10. In the ‘Pre-Shared Key:’ field, type in a password, preferably alpha-numeric, 8 -64
characters long. Remember/note this down. You’ll have to enter it in your computers
too.
11. Set the ‘Beacon Interval’ to 100 and change 802.11b/g to 802.11g if you don’t have older 802.11b equipment.

TROUBLESHOOTING: If you cannot perform step (13) and step (14), you may have to download and install Windows XP Hot Fix KB893357 from Microsoft Download Centre. Just search for KB893357, if you cannot locate it otherwise. It is highly recommended
that you download and install this hot fix BEFORE you actually start out with the modifications on the router.
ADVANCED USERS ONLY: Once you have successfully setup your network with all your computers, change ‘SSID Broadcast’ to ‘No’. The ‘Wireless MAC Address Filter’ can be activated. Select ‘Allow Association’ and enter the MAC address of each computer.
Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers
solution also given.
Cause:
This issue occurs because of a difference in design between Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to 0 (disabled). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is not disabled. Therefore, some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers cannot process the DHCP discovery packets.

is the wired LAN adapter also connected to the same router? cause looking at your ipconfig screenshot , the LAN adapter(wired) seems to be getting an ip without any trouble . that means your DHCP settings are correct.it could be the DHCP range you have specified. thats the only thing which could make it work sometimes and not work sometimes
