oh yeah that's another thing (just happened to me..) for soem reason, every once in awhile the internet will disconnect it's self... you try to open a page and you get offline message you get wehn you click "work offline" in xp and try to open a page not in your history... not really that bothersome since all you gotta do is click 'connect'...

also, it takes a bit of work to get a xp computer and a vista computer on the same network... vista is using some new protocol for networking that xp doesn't reconize, if you ever have problems getting them on the same network let me know i can solve it realitively fast since i had to do it...
