Double Connection

[chicagotech]

Hi Rob:

Its not a solution exactly as it is not permanent...

on the command prompt which you should run as under administrator login type
the following:

route delete 0.0.0.0

and then

ipconfig /renew

see if this works... want to make Vista work, rolling back to XP is not a
solution..
