Loss of Network/Internet Connectivity

This may not be the exactly appropriate group for my problem and I
apologize.
Please redirect, if necessary, otherwise I have the following problem:
Inadvertently I lost my internet connecticity while sending an email with
Vista's built-in. It worked flawlessly for several days (7?) and with no
apparent fault of mine the connection was abruptly severed, leaving the last
open box from the email and a sound when I clicked on anything in that box.
When I shut down and started again, I received this message, amongst others:
Component GUID: {7071ECA3-663B-4BC1-AIFA-B97F3B917C55}
Component file: [C:\Windows\system32\connect.dll
Error: (0x8007277B) <The error message could not be found>

Additional info:
Failed to detect Internet connectivity.

The PC in question is a Dell Inspiron with WinVista and McAfee Security
Center preinstalled. This message originates from my back-up PC with WinME.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Harry.

Harry, go to microsoft.public.networking.wireless. I think they would know
how to solve that kind of a problem. That would probably be your best bet.
good luck
