Local Only Access - No Default Gateway
Hello All,
We have a new laptop with Vista installed that is really starting to frustrate me. Vista Business keeps sporadically changing its connection type to local only and subsequently drops access to the internet. After doing a bit of digging I discovered; for no apparent reason; Vista looses the Default Gateway from the IP configuration. (The DHCP server is running on Windows 2003.) I found and installed the below patch from Microsoft which closely describes a similar problem however the Default Gateway still sporadically disappears (not just when the computer is coming out of Sleep mode) with the patch installed. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/933872/en-us As a blundered workaround; running "ipconfig /renew" from escalated privileges does restore the Default Gateway (temporarily restoring internet connectivity) but obviously this is not a fix as I can't expect users to do this two/three times a day (also security issues). Has anyone come across this and successfully fixed? Thanks, Tarran

Local Only Access - No Default Gateway
How long is the lease timeframe? Does this correspond to when your
workstations lose the default gateway? --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Fri, 23 Nov 2007 02:40:00 -0800, EvilTarran wrote: Hello All, We have a new laptop with Vista installed that is really starting to frustrate me.
