vista and xp answer

I think i've found the answer. getting so frustrated i decided to create an
ad hoc network( quite simple on vista and xp) this means you can lose the
internet connection while on this network but can switch between networks for
internet or between computers. however low and behold when i disconnected ad
hoc network and switched back to router network my main computer appeared on
the network page and i was able to connect.
