Ok ..progress I have spent hours going through window firewall and allowing and disabling advanced exception until the wireless now connects on bootup in 90 second with firewall enabled.

thats good but windows firewall is not as good at protecting the computer as say Zone Alarm or some others but I have downloaded 5 other Firewalls in the last 3 days , nonbe work with vista at all except Commodo but is very complex.

when a better simple Firewall is available or Windows Firewall is updated I will go for it.

The other problem is that windows firewall in vista is almost impossible to delete or switch off permanently.without going deep into the registry ..damn Microsoft...
