Vista and ATT: they drop the call too often

Currently one wired Win7, one wireless Vista and one wireless XP unit are
connected on this home P2P network.
A second Vista wireless unit will not connect, insisting there is a problem
with the router and the router must be reset.
There is no problem with the router as the other wireless units can
disconnect and reconnect, both the Vista and XP units.
This is a frequent problem with Vista wireless networking where one unit
insists the router be reset although it is working properly and other units
have no problems disconnecting and reconnecting.
I have never seen this with XP wireless units in multiple wireless networks
using all kinds of computer and router hardware where one computer forces a
reset of the wireless router to which other units are stably connected.
There are no software ways to get the problematic Vista unit working that I
have found, and I have walked through this with a network engineer just for
grins. It isn't that XP units periodically fail to wirelessly connect but
the problematic unit can be fixed without having to reset the wireless
router.
Networking (not just hardware instability but the arcane and unstable
permissions settings) and disc access speeds are what makes Vista the waste
of code it is, and while Win 7 looks more promising I am not holding my
breath since it is based on Vista and comes from Microsoft, where the
mentality of 1970s General Motors executives are in full psychic control of
Steve Balmer et al.
Microsoft should be scared to death because it is becoming more rapidly
about the network rather than the OS than I ever thought possible . . .

From one sometime, P2P experimenter, I have to tell you that I thank you
for, appreciate, admire your quote - it's very timely, topical, pertinent,
right on - what more can one say? (what comes after "nomore?" "I'm not
going to take it anymore?")
