GREAT tool! My Linky passed everything but uPNP. I still have my wireless
problem, so I have 100' of cat dragging around the house. I am waiting until
I upgrade the tablet to Vista so I can really dig into it. Yesterday, the
fulfillment center told me I cannot get a 64bit upgrade even though the
tablet is compatible

Tony, check for newer firmware for your Linksys (what model/hardware
rev/firmware rev is this?)

Many of the devices that fail will pass with newer firmware.

I've been testing a new tablet that is fully x64 - see my blog for
info -

I don't see your wireless issue in this thread (but it is unlikely
to be related to UPnP). Can you explain the problem you are having?

Barb,
I was the one with the DLink that when enabling wireless, the router would
constantly reboot. You suggested downgrading the firmware, and that worked
UNTIL I changed hard drives and clean reinstalled Vista Ultimate 64bit. I
had so many issues then that I bought a new (compatible I thought) Linksys.

Now, when I enable wireless, I lose all of the hard wired computers (XP or
Vista), and the wireless connection cycles (on the XP tablet) every 120
seconds or so. That is why I figure I'll wait until the fulfillment center
sends me the Vista upgrade for the tablet. Installing Vista on the tablet
will give me a new set of issues.

I read your blog and am anxious to let you know how my tablet works with
Vista.

I think I'll just wait until MS releases an OS that doesn't break everything
in sight. XP works good enough for me anyway.
