Set my Wireless as Default Connection

Vista keeps trying to connect using my blackberry modem (and the blackberry
isn't even in the same room, bluetooth on my blackberry is turned off, etc.)
When this happens, I lose internet services -- even though I'm still
connected to my wireless router.

I selected the blackberry modem in Vista's network connections and
unselected "default" (which it just automatically enabled when I configured
the blackberry modem) However, it continues to try to connect using the
modem which isn't even attached, (even though I'm already connected via my
home wireless connection.) Plus, I can not select my home wireless router as
my default connection (have searched all over windows, but no place to select
it as default.)

Mostly, the problem occurs when I use IE (it isn't as bad when I browse with
firefox) but becuase of my job, I am required to use multiple browsers.

(And, my bluetooth doesn't even work on Vista, but I posted about that
problem already and have yet to find a solution to disable bluetooth.)

And, where besides here, would I report a problem with Windows Vista??

(I really dislike Vista.)

You may want to modify the gateway metric #. This link may help too.
