Vista keeps trying to connect using my blackberry modem (and the blackberry
isn't even in the same room, bluetooth on my blackberry is turned off, etc.)
When this happens, I lose internet services -- even though I'm still
connected to my wireless router.

I selected the blackberry modem in Vista's network connections and
unselected "default" (which it just automatically enabled when I configured
the blackberry modem) However, it continues to try to connect using the
modem which isn't even attached, (even though I'm already connected via my
home wireless connection.) Plus, I can not select my home wireless router as
my default connection (have searched all over windows, but no place to select
it as default.)

Mostly, the problem occurs when I use IE (it isn't as bad when I browse with
firefox) but becuase of my job, I am required to use multiple browsers.

(And, my bluetooth doesn't even work on Vista, but I posted about that
problem already and have yet to find a solution to disable bluetooth.)

And, where besides here, would I report a problem with Windows Vista??

(I really dislike Vista.)

You may want to modify the gateway metric #. This link may help too.
