Exit, Stage left!Problem solved guys, thanks for your help. My WinXP wireless network config was DHCP, no specified gateway or DNS and it works fine.After reading Evol's post, I re-checked my config on Vista and found that I had indeed specified the router IP as the default gateway. Just for the heck of it, I specified the router's IP in the Primary DNS and that did it! Though it works fine, I'm confused:1. Why do I need to specify the DNS server when the BSNL DNS servers are configured on the router AND I have specified the router as the default gateway?2. Why DHCP is working erratically on Vista. There's a real problem here because the allocation range specified on the router starts at 192.168.1.33 whereas Vista (when it works, it takes a long time) gives itself an IP in the 168 series!To push Vista, I tried WPA2-PSK with a static IP and it works just fine.Essebe, where can I contact the author of the PDF link you gave me? There's an error in the MTU value specified in the screenshot. The default is 1500 but 1492 should be the value if you want most sites to work. I could be mistaken but I remember that nugget when I got the router a year ago and couldn't open Yahoo, Gmail and several other sites. Thanks again guys.
 
you are using bsnl DNS server dude.. you said you configured DNS server as your router's ip.. by default your router gets DNS ips from bsnl.. so you are using bsnl's ip.. incase you wish.. you could change those to opendns just replace router's ip in the DNS option to opendns 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 they are quite fast and secure

Glad to note almost all the problems solved.
Regarding
The default is 1500 but 1492 should be the value
not always. even 1400 recommended. No hard and fast rule.
::. Kitz - Tweaking MTU settings .:: etc.
It is a wiki page and you are welcome to edit it .
Unable to access certain web sites is a regular complaint in the IBF,
and we always prescribe a) Opendns in the morning and if it fails MTU change. in the afternoon ! depending upon the patient ( I mean modem !)
DrTCP is the senior consultant !
 
only one solution i can give, upgrade firmware on modem & try changing the wireless channel on modem to 01 / 06 / 11 .. definately either of these three channel will provide you stable wireless connection.
