What I have been experiencing with vista network controls is that it tells mw that I have no connection beyond my router, yet when I open FF, Chrome, CMD (for ping) and (gasp) IE I am able to see the internet with sucessful page load (random pages that are not locally cached) and successfully ping the sites. So what i concluded from that is either someone is playing a really elaborate joke, or (gasp) MS has fucked up another version of windoze!
