Lost internet connection on VPC

When I installed VPC (from Office 2004 Pro), it started using my
Airport connection right out of the box. Recently I went on vacation
where I could not get wireless.

Now, back home, VPC will not go online through Airport, even though the
Mac side is doing so.

When I try to use XP's wireless setup wizard, no change and when I look
in XP's Network Connection browser, LAN or High Speed Internet, it says

Local Area Connection
Disabled, Firewaleld
Intel 21041-based PCI Ethernet ...

What do I click to get wireless network access back on the PC side ????

Try right clicking on the network connection icon and choosing Repair.

I have been having the same problem. I have found that if I connect to
a wire and get the internet working in VPC I can disconnect and use
airport.

I have tried manually configuring the network settings on the Mac ( the
error in IE states the DNS server can't be found). I reinstalled VPC
and it worked for a bit. I have found that if the error occurs is never
works again without first connecting to a wire or reinstalling VPC.

Any ideas/thoughts are welcome.

If you're getting "Cannot find server", then you have a DNS issue. Add
a DNS server address in your local area connection. I use 4.2.2.2
(Yahoo's public DNS server), or use your own ISP's DNS server address
