I've never really seen a router not being compatible with Vista. Right now, I'm using a older cheap wired Linksys router with both XP and Vista. I recall back in late 2006, I was using an old MS WiFi B wireless/router combo (from 2003) with XP and Vista RC1.
How are you connecting to the internet with XP and Vista? You shouldn't have any problems connecting each pc independently to the internet. Basically, you connect each pc to the intenet like it's alone.
Add: Back to your original question of getting internet access for the Vista laptop, just run Internet Options in the Control Panel, Under the Connections tab, click the Setup button, Setup New Connection, Pick the type of connection, Input any username/password if any. It's not much different from XP.
