Thread: "Local Only" Internet Problem, Vista..
Started 2 months, 1 week ago by Troy_Parker
I'm running Windows Vista, and I have a wireless connection to the internet..the thing is, my Laptop connects to the network just fine but instead of the icon saying something like 'Local and Home', it says 'Local Only'..meaning I cant connect to the internet. Does anyone know whats causing this? Thanks..

I have comcast, and connect wirelessly as well. This happens to me a couple times a month.
