I gave up & went to see the Tech Support guys at the AIC today & all my settings were fine that i got from their flier.

I had run windows update the night before & i thought i was up to date.

They gave me a new hotfix from a cd with this filename “Windows6.0_KB932063_x86.msu”

This made it all good (as good as vista can be) & connect as ubuntu did out of the box 😛
