I have three laptops all connected wirelessly. Two of these work
perfectly and the ipconfig throws up the exact right info:

LAPTOP1

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : home

The above settings also apply to LAPTOP 2.

Now when I run ipconfig on LAPTOP3 I get a completely different
configuration: I have also connected this as wired to see if it made any
difference.

LAPTOP3

Strange thing is that it is showing up as "connected" to both LAN &
wireless, but indicates, obviously, that I can only get "Local Access".

Any help greatly appreciated

My network connectivity in vista keeps defaulting back to public &
fails to obtain an ip address both wired and wireless
