Vista conection problem?

Posted this earlier in a M$ group with no replies (I think mine was the only post in the group! :(...)

Home network layout

DSL --> router front w/wireless(DHCP) --> router back w/wireless (Access point) | | | |

3 computers/ XP Pro 2 computers/ MMC2005 wired XP Home wired W2K MMC2005

All wired computers shared with no problems, internet no problems. Wireless computers running Win98, XP Home, XP MMC 2005 can connect to front or back routers no network or internet problems.

My new Vista Home Premium laptop will not connect to internet OR home network while wireless to the back router!

I do get a valid IP from my DHCP and the Vista laptop shows up on the other computers network (although not accessible).

Tried turning off Norton IS 2007 ACER network managment and windows firewall. Even though I am connected with a valid IP, I can not open the routers setup page or even ping it!

"reply from (local IP) Destination host unreachable"

The Vista laptop CAN wireless into the front router with no problems, also, I can hard wire into the front or back router with no problems!

NOTE; No Problems = Local network and Internet access...

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Update;

Front router is D link 614+ wep 128bit hex Back router is D Link 624+ wep 128 bit hex Both current firmware from D Link site.

624+ router prefered in back for faster wireless speed to stream video from media center computer(s)

Swapped routers, DHCP still front router (now 624+). Access point back router(now 614+). Network connectivity is good on both, but video is choppy due to slow W/L speed of the 614+ router. Looks good when W/L connected to the 624+ router.

Is this a Vista or old router problem?

I want my videos by the pool! Any suggestions?
