dunno if anyone answer yet -- disable the firewall, you'll get your ping. ipconfig output would be helpful too. feel free to send me an email or PM for phone number, i'll help you troubleshoot over the phone, if you still need help.

Firewall has been disabled...my ipconfig /all reading is on a previous page in this thread.

I bought a wired linksys card, but Vista didnt recognize it or the drivers on the CD...gonna give wireless a try..if that dont work, Im giving up...

Linksys doesn't have any PCI NICs that are compatible with Vista.

I noticed...good thing in a way...all my PCI slots are full :P

I picked up a belkin USB wireless card and downloaded the Vista 64 drivers...it installed, but it cant see any networks, it seems[M2]

Used the Belkin software to perform a ping test...here are the results:

...and you tried disabling the firewall with the wireless config?

Ive had Windows Firewall disabled since I got Vista up and running...

What's the firmware version on your WRT54GL? Do you have UPnP enabled on your router?

Have you tried this router compatibility tool?

I tried this test on my router. My router is missing some of the advanced functions of Vista. It's no big deal to me. There was a link to Vista Certified Routers and neither of ours are on the list;

As a matter of fact, there aren't any "certified" for x64 and only one that is listed as "compatible". ETA: I clicked on the link to the "compatible" device and there is absolutely no indication that it will work with x64.

...did I mention that there was some word today that the Windows 7 release is being moved up to the 2nd half of 2009? Vista is really making in-roads.

I bought an Abit Wireless PCI-e adapter and installed it and am now posting from my desktop! :)

Thanks for all the help, guys...
