I had a problem recently with Vista claiming "local access only", which
sounds similar maybe to what you're dealing with. Vista wouldn't allow me to
get online. Ultimately I updated the wireless driver which solved it. But
before that I tried per this advice found on google which may be helpful to
you:
- disabling any IPV6 protocols bound to the NIC
- netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Edit registry to add DhcpConnDisableBcastFlagToggle (1) to
MKLM\System\currentcontrolset\
services\tcpip\parameters\interfaces\{GUID for wireless card}
- Or use this tool instead of the regedit:

The odd thing was I had varying degrees of success with each of the items in
the list. But upon reboots I would lose access again.
