Wireless Problem

[Wayne Wengert]

I have been runninmg Vista Ultimate on a laptop for about 2 months using a
wireless connection (802.11a) from my in-home router. As of yesterday, I can
no longer access the internet from the laptop. Two other systems use the
wireless connection and they are running fine The laptop connects to the
network but the IPv4 status shows as "Local Only"

I did not knowingly change any settings - I do get the MS updates
automatically.

Any thoughts on how to debug this?

Weird.... conneted the laptop via a Cat5 cable and everything worked fine.
I then ran Winows Update and it told me everything was up to date. I the
disconnexcted the Cat5 cable and powered done. I then restrted and now, the
wireless connection is working?????
