Networking Linksys router to XP and Vista machines

I have a linksys w/speed booster router. on a computer w/ XP. a laptop w/xp and we just bought a new tower that has vista.
we have a belkiin adapter hooked up to new vista.
i'm trying to connect to my existing network. i turned off vista firewall. i have a secure connection. i know the security code. but i'm lost on this set up. i tried the 'help' steps on windows and Hp. it doesn't recognize/see my network - as a matter of fact - no network is showing up. i tried the wizard to connect. also to set up. neither worked. i tried the troubleshooting steps. to no avail
if i get a new adapter w/booster and vista capable make it work?
however if i get the new adapter. how do i do the steps to connect to existing?
thank you

Make sure that you have Network discovery enabled on your vista machine. You can find the option under Network and Sharing Center.
