I just installed a new router and my XP computer is working but my Vista
Laptop is stuck in "Local Only" on my Wireless connection. I had this problem
before and had to reload Norton Internet Security. The Tech at Norton had no
suggestions this time. I would like to find the security setting that is
protecting me.
 
This is a silly suggestion, BUT, it has been a cause!. Right-click norton's
icon in the task bar, and see if it has blocked the internet.
 
I get the "local only" from time to time when I get interference from one of
my neighbours routers. If your vista computer is at a greater distance from
the router than your other computer it would be more likely to be affected by
interference. Try resetting your router and changing the channel that it is
using.
