Assigning local static IP in Vista disables Internet Access
in order to Remote to my Vista Machine I have to configure the router to
point to my vista machine (open the port for remote desktop). That's not the problem. The problem is when I try to assign a local static IP to my vista machine I loose internet connectivity. This works on every other XP system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you assign the Vista machine proper values for IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server? That should be all that's needed. Can the Vista machine ping the router? Can it ping an Internet site by IP address?

Your results show that connectivity to the router and the Internet is working, but DNS resolution isn't. Double check the DNS server address for the local area connection using "ipconfig/all". Make sure that it's the same as on the other computers and that the Vista machine can ping the DNS server. Look in Event Viewer for any errors involving DNS. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Assigning local static IP in Vista disables Internet Access
Steve - this is very strange.
When using the DNS provided by my router (even after refresh/renew) it works as described via IP, but not by name. HOWEVER, when I checked an older computer, it had a different DNS 2 listing. I tried updated it and it had the same failure. So I used the old for both and they both now work. Way to go Time Warner!! DNS 3 is now the old DNS 2 and shows up by name, not by number. In short, the problem is solved by using DNS 1 and DNS 3. I had to ping socall.rr.com to confirm DNS 3. thanks again!
