Local Access Only Problem
Dell Inspiron 518 desktop with Vista Home Premium 32 - had malware but was
connecting to net just fine. I formatted, reinstalled OS, installed service packs 1 and 2. Now I only get "Local Access Only - Unidentified Network". Tried changing network cards, tried another clean install, even installed Windows 7 since I saw so many other Vista users seemed to be having same problem. No Luck... Vista is back on the computer. Using SuddenLink cable modem, no router. I can connect another computer to same network cable and cable modem just fine. HELP! -- -- Les Stewart Nacogdoches, TX |

Local Access Only Problem
Hi, Les:
Dell Inspiron 518 desktop with Vista Home Premium 32 - had malware but was connecting to net just fine. I formatted, reinstalled OS, installed service packs 1 and 2. Now I only get "Local Access Only - Unidentified Network". Tried changing network cards, tried another clean install, even installed Windows 7 since I saw so many other Vista users seemed to be having same problem. No Luck... Vista is back on the computer. Using SuddenLink cable modem, no router. I can connect another computer to same network cable and cable modem just fine. Forget about gettting "Local Access Only - Unidentified Network". Can you open a command prompt and ping google.com and/or yahoo.com ? Can you access Google via IE ? -- Mr. David H. Lipman Yahoo IM: david_h_lipman |

From: David H. Lipman Forget about gettting "Local Access Only - Unidentified Network". Can you open a command prompt and ping google.com and/or yahoo.com ? Can you access Google via IE ? ---------------------------------------------- Thanks for taking the time to try and help. I took the computer back to the owner... worked fine on their network. Guess I will never know. -- Les Stewart Nacogdoches, TX |
