Here's hoping someone can help me.....

For my sins, got a Vista Laptop a couple of weeks ago. Has only ever been connected to the internet wirelessly through my router and has been consistently fine up until yesterday.....

The laptop automatically goes into sleep mode after about 5 mins, and after it doing this yesterday, I logged back on to find that I couldn't connect to the internet. It's telling me that I have 'local access' only.

I thought it may have been an issue with my VM broadband so checked on my Apple iBook and it's all working perfectly so I don't think it is an issue from VM end.

I've tried restarting the laptop and modem and router, assigning a static IP address, but I'm still getting 'Local Access' only.

Has anyone experienced this?
