It took me 4 hours to resolve this problem with my sprint broadband
card. The problem turned out to be with the workgroup setting in the
system settings. When I installed vista I chose a workgroup. So, when
I tried to connect to the internet it was looking for that workgroup
(resulting in 'local only' status). So to resolve the problem I went to
my system settings and removed the workgroup and chose that this
computer was for home use and not office network. When I rebooted the
system I immediately noticed the internet icon in the windows toolbar.
Hope this helps all of you who have had this same problem.
Good Luck.
