Hello Curtis - the Vista laptop cannot ping the router or any PC on the
Wireless Lan or any external address eventhough the Network Staus on the
laptop is "Connected " - with Access: Local Only.

The Firewall is switched off. There is no Proxy. I cannot get mail as I
cannot access the internet. If I try to IPCONFIG RENEW it responds with
UNABLE TO CONTACT YOUR DHCP SERVER - however the Wireless LAN icon still
shows it connected with Limited Access. The Network and Sharing Center shows
the laptop connected to an Unidentified Network (Green Line) and no
connection to the Internet (Red X)
