Windows Vista wireless crashes my internet connection

"I have 2 wired computers, and 3 wireless computers on a linksys router. The two wired computers run Windows Vista, and have no problems. I have a laptop with Win XP, which can connect via wifi without a problem.
However, when either one of my Vista Laptop or Vista desktop connect to the network via wifi, the internet becomes briefly unavailable for all computers on the network. File and printer sharing still works. Sometimes my internet access is restored in minutes, sometimes I reset my router and cable modem to reset the connection.
This happens without fail every time my laptop or desktop running Windows Vista connects to the internet. But only the first time, if I leave them on all the time it does not disrupt the connection. When a computer running vista is waken from standby, or if I logout and log back in, it also does not disrupt the internet connection of my house."
