    Anyone know if Comp services/ILTG will put my new laptop with Vista Home Premium on the network?

    I can't see why not. The wireless network doesn't need regestering at all. The wired does, but I can't see why it wouldn't work in any case.

    Yea, there really is no "putting" it on the network. For wireless it will work without consulting them and for the wired network they just need the mac address which has nothing to do with the operating system on the computer.

    If all you want to do is the wireless network (and NOT the wired), then no, you don't need to register it.

    Seen as you mentioned ILTG it sounds like it's your in commerce or something - not sure but don't they 'do' more stuff to your laptop than computer services?

    And Vista will work perfectly on the network
