Vista "Local only" connection problem
I have been running Vista on my laptop with no problems since March
until this morning. Suddenly I was presented with "Unidentified network" and "Local only". I have tried a myriad of suggestions found in posts on the net but nothing has helped thus far. My router is a Netgear DG834G and the laptop running vista has an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network adapter. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Many thanks Nick

Vista "Local only" connection problem
Thanks for your reply Robert L. I had read those posts before posting
on here. I am trying to recall the exact circumstances of the failure yesterday morning. When I first powered on my laptop it booted and connected to the network without any problems. Now, I am not 100% sure, but I think Norton AV 2007 installed an update and requested a reboot after which all networking failed. I cannot even connect with a cable to the router. When I check the status of the wireless adapter it just has a 169 address and no gateway, dns, etc. TIA Nick

Vista "Local only" connection problem
If you receive 169 IP, that mean the computer can't receive the IP from
DHCP. Try to assign static IP. Or disable IPv6 completely.

Then try this: in Device Manager, uninstall the wireless NIC and then let it re-install automatically. After doing the above: Disable IPv6. Then, do a search on how to edit your registry to set the DHCP Broadcast flag to 0 for your wireless adapter. Finally, in Network Settings disable "connect to a more preferred network."

Vista "Local only" connection problem
I have been having a similar problem..but my toshiba satellite with Vista
works with the wireless connections for a local and internet access, but then if the laptop goes into sleep or hibernate mode if I am not typing on it for a length of time, then the wireless connection turns into a local only connection and I have to restart the computer for it to reconnect to local AND INTERNET (I have tried diagnose & repair, and disconnecting and reconnecting but that doesn't work). This restarting is such a waste of time, hopefully you can help me... thanks "Robert L.

Vista "Local only" connection problem
The NIC driver or router firmware may need to upgrade. To confirm it, please
post the result of ipconfig /all after it is local only. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "dbcarolina" wrote in message ...
