About to tear hair, rend garments.
Oct. 9th, 2007 03:12 pmGeek-filled computer situation and plea for direction below cut...
Helpful troubleshooting thoughts or ideas? (And before you ask - I'm not gonna switch to a Mac or use Linux on this machine...)
- Built my new machine as dual-boot (XP and Vista).
- Machine is using a Linksys Wireless Adapter.
- When I log onto Vista - the machine can see the local machines on my network as well as 'see' the Internet. No problems...
- When I log onto XP, I can only see my local network - cannot 'see' or access Internet.

Tracert might be your friend.
