Hello, I am trying to help a family member connect to our local network with her brand new dell laptop. I am familiar with XP and therefor have never really experienced vista in any way. When I go to the "Network" tab I get a little message telling me that I am not connected to any network, I then go in wireless networks and enter my routers settings, I press connect and everything seems fine. When I'm done with that, I go to "Network and Sharing Center" and I see "Not connected to any network" I click and I go back to my wireless network page where I see my local network which is clearly connected. I try to diagnose the problem but all to no avail. Please note that internet explorer still works fine and that I can see my other computers through the network settings, but that MSN doesn't work.
