    I have Vista installed on my PC and on a separate window, I'm continually running a vm version of Ubuntu. All well and good until last night, I lost my Internet connection ("always on" broadband) in Vista. Weird thing is I was able to work away on the Ubuntu vm, no loss of connection. I couldn't see any weird errors in Vista and rather than IE and FF giving me a no connection message like usually happens, they tried and tried and tried and eventually FF came back with a message about the page not containing any data and that the network connection had been reset during transfer or something like that. Way weird msg I'd never seen before.

    I would assume that the VM player uses the same network connection as Vista, so how come I was able to use that and not Vista? I eventually just restarted my machine and everything came back up, but for future reference, is there anything else I could do?

    In your VM, are you using NAT or is the network connection bridged?
