You actually have received your Express Upgrade Disk? You are the first I have heard of. But, regardless, I don't know why an Express Upgrade Disk/key would be any different than any other upgrade disk/key. But, whatever, good luck if, and when, you try the repair install.

Yup I acutally Received my Express Upgrade Disk... a lot of people should have gotten them like the week of March 15th... I think the first batch went out March 7th... and people got them a few days after. mine went out March 10th and I got it this past saturday.

And for some reason... I cant boot with the DVD so it makes me think its differnt... the box says "Express Upgrade" who knows... Maybe i gotta wait for more people to start "Express" upgrading and see if anyone has the same problem as me.

I ordered my upgrade disk really early on and have not yet received it. I see what you mean about the booting. Hummm? Yep, we'll see.

Getting back to the connection issue; I had that problem just about two weeks ago and I fixed it by resetting my DSL gateway. It's a router and DSL modem all-in-one, so if you are using a modem and a router, resetting both may do the trick. There should be a 'pin' size hole, which you can insert a toothpick in to push in for a few seconds. It'll reset your modem or router to factory defaults. Make sure to get the IP address for both, the router and modem, before proceeding. You'll need the IP adress to reenter your account and settings information.

Hummmm I've rebooted both Modem and Router before... but never reset it as far as wiping out the memory and back to default. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

OK back from class... its clearly Vista's problem or some setting inside Vista thats not allowing me through to the internet. I still cant get online using both Schools Ethernet or Wireless connection. Where as before I with XP I can get online anywhere.. Home... school... hotel wireless or wired...

I think I'm going to switch back to XP by the weekend if no one has a real solution.

Have you re-run the router setup?

As mentioned, a repair install is worth a shot. Just start it running and go to dinner, do some homework, or watch a little TV.
