I have a 2.4 MacBook Pro. I installed Vista 32-bit. All seems OK. At work I can connect to the Internet via the Ethernet DSL connection. At home I have the Airport Base station connected to the DSL box. My OS X desktop and my OS X 2.4 laptop connect to the Internet through the Airport with no problem.

When I go to the 2.4 in Vista mode I can connect to my Airport network but it does not go to the Internet. Any thoughts?

Check out whether Vista reports that the wireless networking adapter has DNS addresses. It sounds like there's a minor glitch that may be keeping the DNS numbers from propagating to the adapter. You CAN set these manually, but a simple fix is to set both the adapter's gateway and the primary DNS addresses to that of your Base Station.
