Vista Wireless Internet Connections

can you please open an elevated cmd prompt and run

ipconfig /all [enter]

copy ALL the output to the clipboard and paste into a reply?

I have had similar problems, initially I had to turn of ipv6 and that worked
for a while. (I am running Win Vista Ultimate *fyi). Then I couldn't get
around the router but could communicate with machines and my NAS drive behind
my router. While other computers had no problems getting out to the internet.

The first fix I did was to enter the gateway for the router.

Here recently there was another patch update from MS and now I can't get out
past my router once more. I have not tried the reg edit for the broadcast
flag. What I did find is that by using a static ip address I could get out to
the internet and past my router. However in doing so I lost the ability to
work with computer's etc within my network.

The other thing I've noticed is that the computer appears to disregard the
router ip range and assigns it's own dhcp ip address. Ie 100 ~ 165 it wants
to do 204 and now it'll set the gateway to 204 and ip address to computer as
207. Of course directly connected works fine.

That's where doing a static ip worked.

With the feed back listed here I am hopeful to combine some the ideas and
find a better solution.

Something between the router and win vista is the problem.

My SSID was left at he factory default name, I just tried my router again
and 3 consecutive times it lasted only about 2 minutes. When I do diagnose it
says I have no router or network card and I have both.

please change the SSID in the router. i'm guessing this is
contributing to your issue. you may in fact be connecting so someone
else's router with the same default factory name.

Barb,
Both computers have been back on line now for about 12 hours. I did a second
system restore on my laptop to two weeks back, I changed the name on my
router from the factory default to my own as you suggested. I have
reinstalled the updates on my desktop. I did try going to WPA encrytion on my
router and that locked out my laptop but the router kept connection on my
desktop. I will configure that correctly today hopefully. As soon as I took
the WPA setting off the router, my laptop was again back on the internet. I
still cannot get my desktop to recognize and add the laptop to its network
even though its part of it. I tried the flash drive method but that didn't
work either.
Thanks again for your continuing help.

I don't understand what you mean about the desktop recognizing and
adding the laptop to its network ---

are you talking about file sharing or ?

No I went through everything (I am the IT person in my office and am not new
to setting up new computers and networks, so I went through all of the
typical troubleshooting tasks before contacting you) including:
-rolling back my driver
-rebooting the router/host computer/modem
-checked all of my ip configurations/properties to ensure the same setup
-pinged my router (had only local access)
-checked the firewall and recent firewall updates and rolled
back/deactivated my firewall
-uninstalled my wireless modem (laptop) and reinstalling it
-checking for firmware updates
-went to an internet hotspot to check if it were a problem at my home
-checked if there were any windows programs that may have been shut off or
deactivated

In short I have done everything that I know how to do, and granted Vista is
flashy but I am not sure that I like all of the ram it uses to operate
either, maybe I will revert when it is a little further along in its life and
not quite as full of bugs...

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know, though I would just
prefer an update that tones down the Vista security as I am convinced that
the added 'protection' that Vista offers is the sole reason it won't find
other computers/networks/internet connections that may not be running Vista.

I mean when I select "add a wireless device" it can't detect it, hence the
laptop doesn't show in an icon on the networking map or in the View computers
and wireless devices.

Barb Bowman

are both are connected and able to access the Internet? (can you
surf on both) - the add wireless device isn't about adding devices
to the network map. what I think you need to do is set the network
to private in network center and turn discovery on.

I still don't see info on NIC hardware vendor/type/driver version or
the router make/model/firmware you are connecting to.

You mention checking firewall and rolling back/deactivating. We know
that this is often not enough. Uninstalling or finding the setting
to permit specific subnet has resolved connectivity issues for
others.

I can't even tell if you are getting an IP address from these
routers. You mention having the same DNS problems a everyone else.
What do you mean? If you are not getting an IP, perhaps

Ok the make and model of my router is an Airlink 101 Wireless G, I checked
by subnet and it was still obtained automatically (like my ip requires) I DO
get an ip address however I cannot get beyond my router to the
internet...listen forget it, I have already reverted back to XP. I
appreciate you trying to help me, but lets face it VISTA IS NOT READY FOR
MASS CONSUMPTION. It uses too much ram looking fancy and has a whole world
of networking issues...read ANY of the posts below, this is not a new
problem...well it is as new as the software, maybe MS should hold off on the
fanfare the next time they release another OS like windows ME which was
almost as bad, sometimes I wish I just stayed with Linux...oh wait I have.

Well, it's Saturday morning and no network and no internet on my Vista thru
my router. My laptop works thru the router but not the Vista PC. It's not the
modem or router, it's something with VISTA. Vista machine will work if
connected directly to modem.

Hi,

This sorry tale explains some of my Vista problems.

I help run a WISP (Wireless ISP) and use a Vista Ultimate lappie among others.
I setup a linksys portable router and my vista lappie would NOT DHCP.
An XP SP2 one WOULD.

The solution here is to set a STATIC IP - not always feasible but it solves
the problem.

But with Static Vista IPs they seem to keep on stacking up and being
remembered - so there is a bug in Vista WIRELESS as well. You get several
static IPs and can't always get the right one assigned to the adaptor.

I would agree here - VISTA WIRELESS networking is not yet ready for ordinary
customers if even Technet / IT people are having problems and having to
Regedit (which neither us not the people in the street should have to do with
something as basic as DHCP for IP).

Hope this helps but it explains why I could DCHP fine from one router and
not another ... but it needs SORTING please....

I am getting a stack of static IPs...

All the ones I have assigned and more..

IP 192.168.2.251
IP 192.168.2.110
IP 192.168.0.32

GW varies, 192.168.2.10 or 192.168.2.1

Sometimes when it can't pull a DHCP it is in the 169 private range..

I can't ATM as I am not using the machine but I have looked at this and the
IP / DNS is not being cleared when I change IP.

I have tried flushdns and that's no good..
I will try to remember and post a full list tomorrow.

BTW we use Star-OS and Mikrotik for wireless and wired routing so I do know
a bit about NAT and routing..

Ok, there seem to be a lot of people that are having problems with Vista Home
Premium and wireless internet connections...myself included. I have a new
laptop that was working perfectly (even finding XP networks and other
computers...SOMETIMES), for some reason all of a sudden, my laptop can't get
past my router to the web. I have tried going through all of the
troubleshooters (network diagnostics) and still nothing. I am having the
typical DNS server issue as everyone else, though the DNS is not the case, I
know this because I fixed the problem by turning off my firewall. Now I have
tried again but I am back to the same point (and no my firewall is not back
on). My wireless router is recognized though it does not recognize it as a
secure connection (which it is) and will not get past the router to the
outside world.
I have gone to a hotspot and still nothing, I have even tried to connect
with a hard wire still nothing...I am at a loss and ready to uninstall Vista
and go back to XP until MS has worked out these issues. Though obviously
spending a couple of hours to fix this is better than formatting my harddrive
and reinstalling everything. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Microsoft
People...you have a lot of people who need help with this, Vista still has
some serious bugs in it) I haven't actually seen any solutions to this
problem on any of the previous postings though have seen several people
complain about the same issue.

I would like to clear the stack of IP addys on the wireless card

Barb Bowman said:
please post the COMPLETE output of

ipconfig /all

as I requested.

I am getting a stack of static IPs...

All the ones I have assigned and more..

IP 192.168.2.251
IP 192.168.2.110
IP 192.168.0.32

GW varies, 192.168.2.10 or 192.168.2.1

Sometimes when it can't pull a DHCP it is in the 169 private range..

I can't ATM as I am not using the machine but I have looked at this and the
IP / DNS is not being cleared when I change IP.

I have tried flushdns and that's no good..
I will try to remember and post a full list tomorrow.

BTW we use Star-OS and Mikrotik for wireless and wired routing so I do know
a bit about NAT and routing..

:

can you please open an elevated cmd prompt and run

ipconfig /all [enter]

copy ALL the output to the clipboard and paste into a reply?

I have had similar problems, initially I had to turn of ipv6 and that worked
for a while. (I am running Win Vista Ultimate *fyi). Then I couldn't get
around the router but could communicate with machines and my NAS drive behind
my router. While other computers had no problems getting out to the internet.

The first fix I did was to enter the gateway for the router.

Here recently there was another patch update from MS and now I can't get out
past my router once more. I have not tried the reg edit for the broadcast
flag. What I did find is that by using a static ip address I could get out to
the internet and past my router. However in doing so I lost the ability to
work with computer's etc within my network.

The other thing I've noticed is that the computer appears to disregard the
router ip range and assigns it's own dhcp ip address. Ie 100 ~ 165 it wants
to do 204 and now it'll set the gateway to 204 and ip address to computer as
207. Of course directly connected works fine.

That's where doing a static ip worked.

With the feed back listed here I am hopeful to combine some the ideas and
find a better solution.

Something between the router and win vista is the problem.

Router is a Linksys w/speedboost v5.

Ok, there seem to be a lot of people that are having problems with Vista Home
Premium and wireless internet connections...myself included. I have a new
laptop that was working perfectly (even finding XP networks and other
computers...SOMETIMES), for some reason all of a sudden, my laptop can't get
past my router to the web. I have tried going through all of the
troubleshooters (network diagnostics) and still nothing. I am having the
typical DNS server issue as everyone else, though the DNS is not the case, I
know this because I fixed the problem by turning off my firewall. Now I have
tried again but I am back to the same point (and no my firewall is not back
on). My wireless router is recognized though it does not recognize it as a
secure connection (which it is) and will not get past the router to the
outside world.
I have gone to a hotspot and still nothing, I have even tried to connect
with a hard wire still nothing...I am at a loss and ready to uninstall Vista
and go back to XP until MS has worked out these issues. Though obviously
spending a couple of hours to fix this is better than formatting my harddrive
and reinstalling everything. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Microsoft
People...you have a lot of people who need help with this, Vista still has
some serious bugs in it) I haven't actually seen any solutions to this
problem on any of the previous postings though have seen several people
complain about the same issue.
