Well, this didn't seem like a huge problem until I needed to access my
network. All of a sudden, the little network center icon in the system tray always shows a red "X", even though the Ethernet cable is always plugged in and I have my wireless network connected. I can access the "connect to wireless network" window, but it takes way too long to open. I can't access the Network Sharing Center at all. It just stops midway through opening when I try it. I can use the internet just fine but I can't see my home network. I run a Windows Vista Ultimate laptop with 2GB of RAM. I really need help here please. |

Is this multihomed computer? Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

What do you mean "multihomed?" Like, do I use it at different homes? if
that's what it means, it generally stays in the same place - it's a desktop-replacement category laptop and I don't have too much of a need to move it. Please expand on what you need.
