    Linksys WRT54G Router and Vista Network Map

    Hi All,

    Does anyone know how to get the WRT54G working in the Windows Vista Network Map? At the moment, it is not included and is just seen as an unrecognised device. I have the version 7 revision of the router. Any advice appreciated.

    Richard.

    I don't have Vista, and don't know what the 'Network Map' is, but I do have a WRT54G. A quick guess would be to enable uPNP on the router. I can imagine that whatever discovery protocol MS are using is dependent on this in some way.

    From working with Vista, it uses a discovery protocol called LLTD to find all network devices on a network. But the WRT54G doesn't seem to be placed on the network map correctly. UPnP is enabled on the router but is probably just a compatibility issue within Vista, as it treats the router as a gateway on the network map rather than giving it the description of WRT54G.
