My WLAN is not connected to the internet, its a local network only.  The only time the computer are connected to the net is when I move them to a different building. Mike in Wisconsin

I have a partial fix 1st thing i did was clocl on "MY NETWORK PLACES" when that window opened on the left side there was a option box titled: NETWORK TASK. One of the task has "network UPnP devices" in its title I clicked on that ICON. Low and behold a system process showed all my local mapped drives. My mapped drives are the last to re-connect after bootup. After bootup If I check my mapped drives using "windows explorer" and wait until shows coccectly then my application that need the mapped drived work properly.
