Access:Local Only

[ram1500]

The 2 monitor icon in lower right shows currently connected to:xxxxx
Access: Local Only

I can't get to the internet, how do I fix the local only mode. This happens
very often.

Thanks.

How are you connecting to the Internet? Via a router, router/modem or
directly to a modem with a WAN miniport PPPoE in Vista. USB/Ethernet?

What is "xxxxx"? When this happens "very often", how do you reset it, so you
see when it happens again? How often is "very often", anyway? Any pattern?

Do you have two NICs in the computer? Posting the result of ipconfig /all
here may help. Or check this link for troubleshooting yourself.
