    The following specs:
    Dell XPS M1330 NVidia Gforce Go 8400GS
    Vista Home Service PK1
    Bios A12

    I had just installed Service Pk1.
    After installing it I lost internet connection with both the wireless and Wired LAN. Both only show access as Local only.
    Rebooted my belkin wireless router and checked all that is required, I think.

    I am able to connect Wireless and LAN both work in safe mode.
    I am not sure where to go from here.

    Your assistance would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    What wireless card? Either way, sounds like a driver problem. Download the very latest driver from Dell support (in safe mode) and then install it.

    Hopefully that'll fix it.

    Drivers have been reinstalled. - still not working for either ethernet or wireless.
    IN safe mode, the ethernet works fine but no wireless. :(
