This is a weird issue from a client's laptop running Vista Business (not sure
of the make or model at the moment).

The system is connected to the internet - and will do so via Network cable
or Wireless - but the connection center insists that the system is NOT
connected to the network or Internet.

I can get online, use network resources (peer-to-peer, not domain), and have
logged onto the system remotely (LogMeIn Rescue), and there is absolutely no
trouble. However, the system seems to think it is not connected to
LAN/Wireless Network.

As I mentioned this is not causing any "practical" problems, but it
certainly is puzzling why the laptop doesn't think it is connected.
 
I have similar problem. Prior to installing SP-1 on Vista Ultimate last
evening, I had no problem at my office that has a LAN T-1 connection
(10.1.1.1) and a wireless router that only connects to my printer/scanner
(192.168.2.1). I could be connected to both simultaneously and use internet
while printing and scanning. Today, internet will only work on LAN if I turn
off the wireless connection to my printer/scanner.

After playing with some settings, can finally use both but LAN appears to be
offline. this is very unnerving.
