No Internet on Vista Computer
This morning when I turned on my computer, my home wireless network was showing up as "unidentified" with local access only. I tried connecting to the router with an Ethernet cable but that connection, too, said "local only." The major change I have made to my computer since yesterday and today was that I un-installed Symantec Anti Virus (it made my computer unusably slow). I looked online and some threads have suggested that this may have been the problem. I re-installed Symantec but the internet did not come back. It keeps showing local only access / unidentified. All other computers on this network are working absolutely fine. Any ideas on what to do? I am quite desperate right now.. speed is more important than data preservation. I tried System restore but unfortunately I don't have any previous points saved. Thanks so much! -- sadiqhassan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sadiqhassan's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/sadiqhassan.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...rk/1053488.htm http://forums.techarena.in

No Internet on Vista Computer
Exact same thing happened to me: wired network, Vista, Symantec AV .... I
ended up re-installing the the OS (not Vista this time!). However, in hindsight, I'm wondering if somehow the NIC driver got uninstalled. I realize its a stretch but check your Device Manager settings for Network Adaptors and see if that is what happened. Good luck with Vista ... I give up. "sadiqhassan" wrote in message ...
