Local Area Connnection Local Only
Windows Vista
Multiple times while T/Sing Non Connection issues w/o router I have run into where the Local Area connection states the connection is 'Local Only' Can Ping IP Addresses and FQDN IPConfig was normal Release and renew does not create any errors, Disabled all Security Programs Disabled Windows Firewall all together The DHCP is seing the Proper MAC for the NIC, and is assigning an IP Address PC is accepting the proper IP address being assigned from the DHCP Server Disabled IPv6 and only had IPv4 Even Rebuilt TCP/IP Though every time the Local area connection states Local Only and the PC will not be able to get online Questions: Are these 2 things related and, if so, which is dependent on the other? (I.E. Is the PC stating Local only because it cant get online, or can it not get online because the PC is set to Local Only) How to resolve the causing factor (or factors if issues are not related)? Thank you for any assistance in this matter.
