Okay, I think I figured this out. Apparently with Windows Vista I am no
longer allowed to connect to 2 devices simultaneously. In Windows XP I could
connect to the internet using my broadband phone with bluetooth and at the
same time connect to another XP computer at home. Once I disconnected from
the internet and removed the bluetooth device connection for the phone I was
able to make the local network connection. Quite a pain since this means I
need to run back and forth from my pcs to my phone and back again to reset
the passkey every time I need to change from the internet to a local
connection and back.
