The problem with the network is not as uncommon as you may think. I
have seen that problem with one system prior to VISTA. It is not
necessarily due to VISTA, but I would not discount that possibility.
There can be several causes. Sometimes they can be difficult to run
down.

1. The router by its nature tends to protect incoming transmissions.
You need to make sure your router setting includes the mac address of
network cards. It will automatically choose one but not necessarily
the second.
2. You mention a Belkin router but do not state if it also has
wireless transmission. This can require some special settings.
3. While you may have to hold the line for a while, most of Verizon
tech support guys are very good (assuming your DSL is Verizon). They
also have the ability to log onto your system if you allow it.
However they may not support third party routers.
