Re: Very strange behavior from my Internet connection...
After reading your 'stream of consciousness' post I'm confused. You barely
get one problem mentioned and them you are on to another without fully
describing the first. Your nomenclature is also a bit difficult to decipher.
Calm down and approach each problem with a little more logic and a little
less narrative.
You said, "So it's as though it wants me to connect wirelessly. But, I am
clearly
connected through a wire already!!! So I click on the diagnose and of
course it says:..."
Trying to operate wireless and wired concurrently on the same machine is
your problem here. Don't do it. Pick one.

How did you transfer your music files from XP desktop and to what folder?
They should have been copied to c:\users\*yourusername*\music. Although this
is not required, Media Player will find them there with no intervention from
you which would be required if you copied them elsewhere. The error you
state sounds like you have shortcuts copied but not the actual files.

I don't understand what "copied and pasted my music into the file" means. It
makes no sense to me. And then you deleted the new copies...huh? Where are
your files? Can you open the folder and see them there? Pick a player and
get that to work.

Not enough information. If it crashes there will be errors noted in the
event viewer. What are they? Are your songs protected and therefore you need
to download licenses? Did this happen when you were trying to operate on two
different network segments at a time through concurrent wireless and wired
connections?

The service pack is not going to help you, and if you were taking all these
actions on a new XP machine, you would be having the same difficulty as near
as I can tell.
Pick a connection method then troubleshoot it only and post here with make
and model, errors, specific actions and the like. Then move on to the next
issue. Post here, etc. The problem isn't Vista. I have both a wired and
wireless network and full music library functioning beautifully and shared
between an upgraded XP to Vista PC, XP laptop and Xbox 360. No gnashing of
teeth or rants against Vista were involved, but then I didn't hook up wired
and wireless to the same machine, put it into hibernation, then copy
shortcuts from one machine to another, then delete the files and expect them
to play. You get the idea...It is YOUR mess.
