wireless network can t connect

In our house we have a wireless router and using vista i can't connect to it using my USB 2.0 802.11g wireless adapter. i know the WEP Key is correct as its saved in a Text file which i use for XP, and i tried turning security on an off the router ( by directly connecting my laptop to it via a Ethernet Cable). but what ever i try i get a tim out error when i try to connect.
Any one have any ideas? any settings that have to be changed?
Thanks

I too have been having problems with my wireless connection since Vista. I am having to roll back a day using system restore almost daily now.
It just conks on me with Vista declaring "no networks available". When I delve further it seems that it is having difficulties starting a network adaptor.

Try using the WinXP drivers or installation program... just try it.

I am having the same problem, Vista sees my network but refuses to connect to it. Other computers running XP work fine. The diagnoze problem is totally usless and the settings are buried so deep in Vista I can't find them again. I too have had to run an ethernet cable across my room.
