Frustrated and No Help - Cannot ping netbios name or localhost
OK.
8 hours later and $69 down the drain and no answers. Cannot ping netbios name or localhost. No tools like netdiag for Vista. All Services are running. Winsock and tcp/ip have been repaired. Permissions have been checked. I have compared this computer with another and all the services are running. Were do I go from here. Very frustrated. 4 days and still no answers. I can ping the internet, but not a friendly name. @#$%^& Vista. Microsoft was no help and they wrote this. I am a Network Administrator and have done this for years. I have many hours of training and certs. So what am I and everyone missing here. I am getting to old for this probably.

Frustrated and No Help - Cannot ping netbios name or localhost
If turn off all firewall and security software can you ping it by IP?

Frustrated and No Help - Cannot ping netbios name or localhost
I can ping 4.2.2.2 with no problem. I just can't ping any friendly name. i.e.
yahoo.com localhost, or the computers NetBios Name, etc. I do a repair, Vista says it is ok? But, I don't have the internet. A Red X appears and it tells me that I have local access only. Thanks for replying "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: If turn off all firewall and security software can you ping it by IP?

A Red X appears and it tells me that I have local access only. Thanks for replying I've been having similar problems. I've found a number of partial cures. I don't know whether I've finally managed to fix the problem permanently. Try this: 1. Programs that install context menus can interfere with networking. Why? I don't know. I used a program called ShellExView (free download), which gave an easy interface for disabling context menu additions. I disabled most everything that wasn't a Microsoft program. This helped, but wasn't a full cure. 2. I had tried Sphinx firewall. It appeared to interfere with wireless networking. I removed it. However, either it didn't uninstall entirely or it was partially recovered when I did a restore. I discovered this when Security Center gave a "don't run two firewalls at once" warning. I re-installed Sphinx, then uninstalled it, removed all traces from the registry with RegSupremePro and manually deleted its directory from Programs. 3. I deleted all residual files of programs I've uninstalled from Programs. 4. I used RegSupremePro to remove all registry entries for uninstalled programs. 5. I examined Processes carefully and made sure nothing was running that shouldn't be. 6. I disabled IPv6 on the network adapter that was giving me the problem (a wireless adapter). 7. I edited RegEdit to disable the Broadcast flag (Microsoft has directions). Since I did all of this, I find that I'm not having "local access only" internet issues (right now, I've only access to networks via the wireless adapter -- I don't know whether the wired adapters were effected). I also find that my internet access is much, much faster. Hopefully, I've fixed whatever was troubling Vista (probably a combination of factors). I have an OEM installation of Vista Business, so I couldn't call Microsoft support. Sony support ran me through endless cycles of flushing the DNS cache, re-installing the adapter, and all sorts of other obvious stuff, none of which worked. A lot of what I tried above (and that, unlike Sony's suggestions, appeared to work) were culled from several hours of internet searching. Apparently, this Vista problem is relatively common. Good luck. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: If turn off all firewall and security software can you ping it by IP?

Frustrated and No Help - Cannot ping netbios name or localhost
Still have the problem and I am looking for some ideas.
Still cannot ping localhost. I know it has to be a Vista DNS Client problem, but not sure how to fix it.
