Hello Again
This all started when I decided to improve the quality of service to people who are staying at our guest house. After asking for help........

Antamedia Bandwidth Manager was suggested on the above link

I then proceeded to build a new computer on which to run the software

Started out as an AMD but I ended up building an Intel. There is probably a joke in here somewhere but I am too tired to see it

I finally got it all working perfectly, after getting all the bugs out, testing it out on my home network before moving over to the guest network

Oh if anyone is interested Antamedia Bandwidth Manager freezes up if you try and run it after doing a Windows Update of IE 7. Please don't go there as I spent a few late nights figuring this out. It works great on IE 6.

The reason I come to you today is to try and understand how it is possible for most of the xp machines trying to access the new configuration on the guest network have no difficulty connecting after making a minor setting change in the properties of their network card.

I added a default gateway 192.168.0.1 to their settings.

The guest with the Vista machine can't connect to the internet he only shows a local connection. The information balloon above the network icon on the task bar shows both Satelite 2 and Satelite 3
I tried the default gateway setting but it didn't work.

The following link describes how to set upnp framework in vista and I have tried that.

I DID NOTICE THAT THE LINK ABOVE MAY HOLD A CLUE AS TO WHAT IS WRONG.
Please take note if you look at the above link the picture shows the computer connecting to a network and connecting to the internet. The network it is connecting to is listed below the picture.

THE GUEST COMPUTERS PICTURE IS DIFFERENT>
In his picture of the computer connecting to the internet through a network it says multiple networks in the middle between the computer and internet. His link shows and X between the networks and the internet. (I know its obvious but I thought I should mention it, THE X)
The multiple networks are shown below the picture. Two different networks of the same name. Satelite 2 and Satelite 3 each has its own settings and properties etc I believe one represents the ipv6 protocol and one is on the ipv4. I got this information by checking out the properties tab looking for the tcp/ip settings for the wireless adapter.
While trying the diagnostic and repair it says we have multiple active networks and we should disable all we are not using.
Believe me I would if I could figure it out
Not being familiar with Vista and how to clean up this mess I have come to you for help.

I can see his computer on the ICS Gateway and gave him an account. After 8+ hours of trying to get it to work I tried to connect his other computer an old xp and of course it won't connect either. Just to be stubborn.
His old Xp didn't show on the ICS Gateway and I am not sure why his old xp is being difficult. I can tell you it is extra awkward to configure when you are guessing what the fields and tabs say.
Oh did I mention the XP of his is in Chinese!
Not that there is anything wrong with that but it just adds to the frustration when you are barely able to see.

My guest network consists of many access points (routers with DHCP disabled) all configured identically but with different names and addresses. They all connect to the DHCP server (router at 192.168.0.2 with wan port disconnected), which is connected to the ICS XP Gateway at 192.168.0.1

Any and all help would be appreciated
