Check if there is a new driver for the NIC or firmware for the router first.

Try to do these steps:

>>Try to reconfigure your wireless settings (Change SSID, Lock the
channel to the strongest channel, Enable WPA-Personal)

>> After saving the settings, try to delete preferred networks on the
preferred network list (Go to Control Panel, Switch to classic View,
Click on Network and Sharing Center, Click on Manage wireless networks
and delte the networks that are listed on the window)

>> Try to connect to your wireless network

>> If unable to connect again make sure that your wireless network
adapter is working fine.. Call your computer manufacturer if it is a
built-in wireless network adapter

>>I hope this steps will help you:D

I have a Toshiba laptop running Vista Home Premium. The built in
wireless adaptor failed about two weeks ago. A client of mine has a
Sony VAIO running the same OS that failed at the same time. I've
reloaded drivers on both. Doesn't work. They do work with my external
USB Linksys.
I'm suspicious of a glitch in Vista or maybe some form of a cyber
attack. Have not seen anything on-line yet. Answer me back if you have
an idea.

What is common to the two laptops? Do they use the same adapter chipset?
Drivers?
We had this occur several years ago, (not with Vista) and found that a
common driver was at fault.
Replacing it with an earlier driver version cured the problem, at the
expense of some minor problems with the earlier driver version.

I need to check on that. Thanks for the feedback. It is either OS,
driver, or virus.......

I just had this problem on a customer computer ("Windows association
failed due to an unknown reason"). It is a Toshiba Satellite L-305 with
a Realtek RTL8187B card (which claims to be a USB 2.0 adapter), BTW.
Uninstalling the wireless card driver, (not deleting the file, of
course) then doing a scan for changes and letting Vista automatically
reinstall the driver, that fixed the problem.

So you might try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.
