Thanks for your suggestions.

I'll try setting up my laptop outside the firewall just after the dsl
modem. However, what could explain that an XP VM *running inside*
Vista would work? Also, that *every* non-Vista system on the network
functions correctly?

I mean, if I go outside the firewall and it works; and then I change
the dsl modem/router and it works inside; Then what sort of thing
could be happening that allows all other OS's to work except Vista?
