    Have you tried the Vista network troubleshooting tool? Control panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center>Diagnose and repair (in the left panel)

    First of all - I am assuming that the router is fully operational.
     
    Have you tried hardware wiring to the router first to check that everything is working correctly?
     
    If it is then is your wireless device compatible with Vista? - it might be either disabled or drivers are incompatible. Check the device manager and connections to see if your wireless connection is there.
     
    At my company we have had to reverse all Vista computers back to Windows XP because too much stuff (hardware) and software simply did not work correctly.
     
    If you do have to revert back to Windows XP - why not dual boot your computer into XP you will still be able to access files from your Vista partition. An excellent step by step guide can be found at:
     
     
    Sorry I can't be more help.

    I had this issue as well. Turns out my router needed to be reset. Just go to your routers main page and reset it.
