Wireless Laptop (Dell)

Connect through Router - TrendNet N Draft

I have been using this same hardware for over a year - this problem just started about 2 weeks ago. I am using the laptop - everything appears fine - network icon shows local & internet (little globe is present).. then after a few minutes the globe goes away and it says local only. HOWEVER it appears that I can still surf the net as wella s recieve email.
It's more of a bothersome thing than anything but any idea why this is happening??????

Three words! Microsoft Windows Vista! I have never seen a more inconsistent operating system than Windows.

It's been GREAT until now. Have had the system for well over a year........
Do you have any idea what is causing the problem? How to fix it?
