I don't think it's them (Verizon), Bill; I have four other computers
networked in - and one of them is running Vista as well and none of the
computers are reporting this issue - just the last one I installed Vista on.

This is mystifying! There are no entries in any of the event logs and when
I run the diagnostic against the Internet connection itself, it comes back as
functioning properly. When I check the connected computers, all five
computers appear in the list as expected.

But the affected computer is stuck in Local Only mode.
