Dunenerd Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I had a toshiba Vista 32 bit and a dell XP 32 bit. I had the same problem. Aparrantly, they hate each other. If this is your situation, your better off using a router. I tried wifi adhoc networks too and it didn't work. Stuff Microsoft and their lack of backwards compatibility.
