Problem connecting wifi but computers are recieving signals.

i'm extremely new to the entire wifi area of computers so i will try and be
as detailed as possible. to begin we have a link sys wifi router with two
antennas and 4 outgoing ports for non wifi. are WII console seems to get a
connection without any problems. but my moms toshiba sattilite notebook with
vista does not connect to the wifi linksys router. it recognizes a good
signal 73% i believe it was when i checked. but it will not connect no matter
what i tried. we had the switch for wifi set to on and it found the linksys
without any problems. and she also mentioned that my dads toshiba with xp has
problems connecting also. any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you
for your time.

Hello Joker192,
Do you know if your Vista machines get an IP address? check by run CMd and
there run:
ipconfig /all

If you don't get an IP address from your linksys router this could help you:

If your Wii cannot connect to WiFi this could help
