I had a similar problem...It's a windows vista issue...I could connect to
local network but not the internet.

The issue is caused by a lack of a correct association on the SonicWALL
between the computer running Windows Vista and its assigned IP address.
Follow these steps to work around the issue by editing the System Registry:

Click the Start button.
Select All Programs > Accessories.
Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
Type regedit.exe and press enter.
Go to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Right click this entry and select New Dword.
Rename the new entry ArpRetryCount (leave it set to 0 by default).
Restart the computer.
Reassociate with the SonicWALL. You should notice a successful connection.
