What subnet are you using? Many people are having problems with RC2 and
networks that use APIPA (169.254.x.x) addresses. The workaound is to change the scope on your router. With the Motorola Canopy you may not be able to. Talk to your ISP to see if they have a workaround and report this bug to Microsoft. One possible workaround would be to use a second router. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca Jeff wrote: I am having an issue getting on the internet.

Hi Kerry,
I have a similar problem, I can get to the network and log into my router (netgear WGR614v4) all settings are as they were, I use static IP's to keep my media player happy. Yet I too cannot get an outside link. Outlook 2003 does not access either. My XP machines and my PDA connect happily. Basic network settings are; Router 192.168.X.1 PC 192.168.x.3 Sub net 255.255.255.0 gateway as per router DNS server as per router. Can you please give a little more detail as to your workaround suggestion? David "Kerry Brown" wrote: What subnet are you using?
