I have the exact same issue with a VISTA Lenovo Laptop
wired -- everything works as expected
wireless -- although I can get out to the internet with problems via my
wireless AP in my firewall -- I have numerous "local network issues related
to not being able to properly resolve names on the network
something is definitely screwed in VISTA wireless..
Swapping harddrives to one with XP on it on same hardware does not have any
wireless problems........................
