Hi everyone,
I set up a wireless network at home with 2 notebooks. The access point router linksys WRT54G is set according to the instructions and DHCP ip addresses option was enabled.

First notebook with XP OS connects always without problems, but the second one with Vista OS connects only with router's configuration web site 192.168.1.1, and when I check the connection on Network&Sharing Center the line between the router and Internet is marked with a red cross.
Diagnose gives me response "There may be a problem with your Domain Name Server (DNS) configuration"
In Properties menu TCP/IP vs4 , IP address is set to automatically, only default gateway is set in advanced options as 192.168.1.1 , and DNS is set with the numbers provided by my ISP.

My husband built a new computer for us (first time) and we installed Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM yesterday. It will not connect to the internet. He has tried connecting just through the modem, as well as through our router (Linksys WRT54G) with an ethernet cable. No connection either way, but the IP address is showing 192... etc...

Vista says "unidentified network" and "access; local only"

Has anyone had this problem? We were on the phone w/ Comcast for an hour last night, and we don't think it's a problem with them.

Any help is greatly appreciated - we're at our wits end, since we have no other support options.

Hiya,

I'm having real trouble sustaining a wireless connection on Vista (release build not and RC). I can connect to the internet fine when I first boot up but then something will take out the wireless connection and mean that i cannot restore internet access without rebooting. One thing that is guaranteed to floor the connection is trying to access files on other PC's on my network (all running win XP).

I have a linksys PCI wireless G card that worked fine when it was in an XP machine connected to a Belkin router/adsl modem.

The whole set up was fine until i used vista.

Hi guys!
I don't really know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll give it a try:
I've just installed Vista Business x64 (looks great!), but I'm experiencing a problem with my Internet connection. I connect to Internet trough a cable connection (I have a modem). Vista identified my network card (a realtek rtl8168/8111 family pci-e gigabit ethernet nic). The only problem is that it does not identify the network connection. It says "access: local only" and, when I try to diagnose the problem it says I have to shot down my modem for 10 secounds and then plug it again. This does not solve my problem. Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be? I'm trying to fix this since this morning, and now I look at the clock and it's nine o'clock.
