I've install Vista RC1, and its working great, except for one or two bugs that stop me using it 'properly'. The main one is that I can't connect to the internet through my wireless network. I have a Netgear WG311v3 PCI card. My network is an Ad-Hoc Wireless network, set up through Windows XP SP2. It uses encryption, which is listed in the network properties as: Ad-Hoc WPA-None (AES) Now,...

Hi, I have been running RC1 for a week or 2 now, and have started having problems losing my internet connection. I will get the limited access warning and then no ip address and no connection. I have to restart computer, and then I get connectivity back until it occurs again..... Mb ASUS P4P800, 1 gig ram, p4 1.5 gig processor, onboard 3com ethernet, 128 meg nvidia vid adapter, etc. No...

I see a lot of questions that should be very basic, but have no answers, or if they do have answers they are from other users. No authoritative answers. I am having the same problem that many others are. To put it very simply, My network worked just fine with XP. I have multiple computers on the same network. Vista RC1 does not connect outside my local network. The only help from Vista...

Hi, I can not get the VPN client to work with RC2 (did not manage with RC1 either actually). I get the logon dialogue box, but after that the status bar keepis showing the "securing communnications channel" message for ever and never finishing the connection. Have anyone managed to get this to work and if so what are your config? //Hannes

I just installed RC2 on a HP Compaq nx8220 computer (laptop). And after som time woriking on this unti, the network drops out. It loose it's IP adress, and I can't resolv it again. The only think that works, is to reboot my computer. I have tried the computer both home on my home-network ( a 3Com wireless/wired router), and on my work. I have tried it with both wired and wireless networks,...

I am running Windows Vista RC2 and I am having problems signing in to Windows Live Messenger. When I am in a public network, Messenger works fine. But it refuses to sign-in when I am in my corporate domain. After several retries it connects once, but shows no one as Online. I am certain it is a Windows Firewall rule that is getting affected from Group Policy (Our domain runs Windows Server...

I've been tracking an issue regarding UAC breaking logon scripts and I need Repro's/scripts/examples. From what I've seen if you have your script in the User/Logon GPO it pops UAC on some operations such as installing antivirus or executing remote monitoring clients, cancelling on the UAC prevents the domain policy from being fulfiled. In some cases I have seen that moving these scripts to...

I have a small home network with a Vista RC1 system and an XP system. Both systems are on the same workgroup. I'm able to see all the shared resources from both systems. I can access all the shared resources from the Vista system but not from the XP system. From the XP system I can see the folders I shared on the Vista system including the Public folder. I can access the Vista Public folder...

hi all! okay, so how can i view the network like in xp? what i mean is: in xp, you right-click 'my computer' and select 'explore.' then expand 'my network places.' then expand 'entire network.' then expand 'microsoft windows network.' from there, you see a list of all the domains in the forest. (i work at ucla. the root is ucla.edu and there are hundreds of domains under that. i manage only...

I explained my problem already in an answer to another thread. But that one was located in the general newsgroup thus I try it again in the networking group: I cannot establish a VPN connection from my Vista RC2 (build 5744 German) to the our ISA 2006 over PPTP. The PPTP connections work fine with XP clients. On the Vista client I use the same settings. I also tried out different settings...

I am currently running Vista version RC1 Build 5600 on a Dell D620 Latitude. This laptop sits in a docking station connected via a static IP address onto my local network. I then wanted to connect it directly onto my broadband router. I changed the IP address from a static mapping to DHCP clicked on OK I was them prompted to restart the laptop. On restart the laptop did not get a DHCP...

I installed Vista on a virtual pc. It can see my internal network, but cannot connect to the Internet. My ISP gives me a private address from the 192.168.x.x range. I'm using 192.168.2.x on my internal network. I'm using W2003 routing with NAT. All my other computers (including on virtual pc's) can connect to the Internet. Please advise.

I have spent hours searching the posts here to find anyone who has got a network adapter actually running from start. I read one post that someone had got a Linksys WUSB111 to install and work without any problems. I immediately went out and purchased the network adapter, but it did not work either! I have tried also a Netgear RangeMax WPN111 but it does notinstall either. Has anyone actualy...

I've tried this method with my Epson Stylus Photo 895 attached to a Windows XP Pro workstation but Vista x64 just asks for drivers because they aren't on the XP Pro machine. The problem is, the drivers are only available on the Vista install CD and I can't find them. I've tried connecting the printer to the Vista x64 machine but face similar problems from the XP Pro machine.

Hi, I'm trying to share a folder from vista to xp. From vista I can see the drives I share but as soon as i'm trying to connect to \\computername\myshare from XP it gives me this error message: not enough server storage to process this comand. I noticed some kb articles about this issue but were addressed to windows NT4. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a Netgear WG311v2 wireless card that worked with Beta 2. I had to do a clean install with Vista RC1 and Windows will not let the driver install. It either won't install at all or 'not properly'. -- Thanks in advance, Doug
