Just got a new Dell laptop. For some reason about 50% of the time i turn on my laptop to get online, the internet wont connect. It says local only. Its connected to the wireless network and has excellent connectivity. If hit disconnect and reconnect again, then it fixes something and will say local and internet, then i can connect to the web. What could be causing this intermittent connectivity to the internet? My old compaq never had this problem and i havent changed anything at all.

update the firmware for your router. vista has problems connecting to some older routers and most have updated their firmware to accommodate this. solved my problem anyway.
