And, I am going to buy a new laptop. Except as of June 30, you can only buy Vista. Pffffft. Vista is just not user friendly (trying to keep it G-rated here.) They do offer a downgrade to Windows XP Professional though after you buy Vista. Pfffft again. What to do, what to do. Do I see a Mac in my future???

Well, my wireless icon now says that the signal is very good and yet I keep getting a page cannot be displayed message when trying to connect.
I manually put in my IP address because if it's automatic it shows as a 169 IP.

On the extreme left is an XP laptop that has my email client and Trillian client on it. In the middle is the Vista laptop. I use it to walk customers through setting stuff up, and to play Eve-Online. Here on the extreme right is an old HP laptop that has been running linux for 4 years. I do everything on it. It's even a RADIUS server.
I have Vista because I HAVE to be able to support it.
If you get a Vista box, TURN OFF THE IPV-6 protocols. They are hosed, and if you move around networks a lot, it gets very confused.
