Hello,
I'm a pretty experienced Windows "power" user and have set up countless
networks using Windows systems... and i've never seen this before.
I've been using DHCP to have this computer connect to my wireless router
until today. I wanted to set some NAT rules so i had to turn DHCP off and set
my ip/dns/gateway manually... that's what i did and after setting in the
correct values i pressed OK and then closed the Network Properties window to
save the settings, and Vista promptly gave me a bluescreen. I suspected this
had to do with me having multiple networks running somehow so after rebooting
i disabled them all (including the wireless one i was configuring) and set it
up again (the values had all been wiped by the way) while it was disabled,
and then enabled the wireless connection again. After enabling it ran but
even if i could access my router's control panel i couldn't get on the
internet and found out soon enough that my Default Gateway was empty (even if
i had set it)... So i went back to properties and set it again, and again
Vista gives me a bluescreen.
No matter what i try, whenever i set a default gateway, my Vista Home
Premium 64bit promptly crashes. If i set it with the connection disabled, it
wipes the value once i enable it.
Im baffled. It works on my laptop fine, and that's running Vista 32bit.
