Wireless Router Connecting problem. "Unidentified Network"

[bruggs101]

Product Name: Compaq Presario A900. Actual number is A940NR

Operating System: Windows Vista (32-bit)

This problem is getting very annoying for me. Everytime my computer trys to connect to the router that I am using, it connects, but instead of actually connecting to the Internet, it just says, "Unidentified Network". I have looked on other forums and have recently done what they have said. I have updated the driver, it did not need to. I have tried to download the latest driver for Aerthos, that did not seem to work either. 

Please help.

This is a common issue with vista. Try to turn off windows firewall and try again.

Thank you for the reply. I did disable.the firewall and it still does not work. As for the link, I got so far as to #2 and I could not figure out the rest. I will try again but other than that, still no luck.
