Windows 7 causing other machines to disconnect from broadband

Hi all,

I've just signed up for this forum after searching for a problem I am having so hopefully someone can help out!

I have Virgin Media 10 mb connection, 2 XP machines and an Ipod Touch which all connect to internet fine via cable modem and Netgear WGR614v9 wireless router.

I have recently started using a Windows 7 machine but as soon as it switches on it causes the other machines to lose connection. The Win7 machine doesnt keep connection either.

I have been looking on the internet the last few days for a fix but all I have found is to upgrade the router - but then I read VM don't support this and I cant login to the router to check the settings.

I have also read something about IPv6 on the Win7 machine is it worth disabling this?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks
