Network only works after physical disconnection and reconnection of LAN cable
Hi,
When I boot up Vista my network shows 'Limited Connectivity'. If I then physically disconnect then reconnect the LAN cable I can then access 'Local and Internet'. If after bootup if I use Diagnose and Repair it has no effect. I loaded drivers from the Intel website for the NIC (Intel 82566DC) which made no change. I tried setting a static IP address instead of DHCP which had no effect. I did a Dell Diagnostic on the card itself which it passed. XP systems on the LAN connect at startup without problems. Any further diagnostics to do, or ideas welcome! Thanks, Gids

I came across a suggestion while researching my own problem: make sure that
netBIOS over TCP/IP is active for TCP/IP v4 HTH! " wrote: Hi, When I boot up Vista my network shows 'Limited Connectivity'.

Thanks for the sugggestion After applying the suggestion I think you make: Advanced TCP/IP Settings-- WINS -- Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP the computer now connects to 'Local Only' on startup and 'Local and Internet' after physical disconnection and reconnection. Any other suggestions welcome! )O( Shadow-Wolf;257601 Wrote: I came across a suggestion while researching my own problem: make sure that netBIOS over TCP/IP is active for TCP/IP v4 HTH! -- gids
