    Hey,
    I have a macbook pro and I am running Vista and OS X. When in OS X I get a clear wireless internet signal from the neighbors, they know I am doing it. However, in Vista, my wireless connection just says, local access only, and it wont let me connect to the internet. What does this mean and how do I fix it. Clearly the wifi signal works, because I can surf the web in OS X. How do I get Vista to do the same?
