Did you install the latest driver first? Try to reset the modem/router first, then reboot your laptop.

yes the driver is updated and we reset the modem and router already also reboot the laptop still no connection. I mean it said there connection but is unidentified network.

Try and use another program for it than vista itself. I also had problems with it, but now use "homenet manager", and it works like a charm (the prog will set the correct settings in vista)

What kind of laptop is it? I know that there were certain problems with a network adapter driver for newer HP laptops. After installing the driver, either the wireless or wired capabilities of the lappy wouldn't work.... Just my two cents :shrugs:
Because it is a laptop this may be an issue but there is a similar problem with nvidia based MBs and the network. The fix is to unplug all power and the lan line and let it sit for a bit. I assume in this case it would involve removing the battery(s). Apparently the NIC goes into hibernation and can't get out. I seem to remember having to turn off my nic also
