I have 3 computers in home:
#1 is connected via Ethernet to DSL and D-Link wireless router, and is
running Vista Home Premium. I can connect to Internet fine on #1.

#2 is on my wireless network running XP. It connects to Internet just fine.

#3 runs Vista Home Premium, but I cannot connect to the Internet. You can
see the wireless network with a strong signal, but the connection is Local.
If I remove WPA and make the network unsecured, I can connect to the
Internet. If I plug in an Ethernet cable in this computer and into a port on
the router, I can connect to the Internet.
I checked ipconfig and it shows for the wireless network that there is no
default gateway, and the user ID does not show like it does when I run
ipconfig with the network unsecured.

I hope someone can help me out because I need to get some sleep.

I disabled TCP/IP v6 and that didn't fix problem. Here is the ipconfig/all as

can save the output to a txt file and then post as a reply.

which DLink router and what hardware version of the router and what
firmware version? what driver are you using for the wireless?

I have just encountered the same problem after downloading the most recent
Microsoft updates. I used system restore to prior to the update and my
wireless now gets out to the internet again. I downloaded the updates again
and it happened again. So I did restore again, I'm back on the internet. I
have 4 wireless all working fine and two Ethernet. It only happens with my
Vista Home premium after I upload the new MS updates. Now I am scared to
upload anymore MS updates in the future. I can't waste my days
troubleshooting their bugs for them. Hope this helps!

1.11 firmware is now available.

some questions:

1. is the router set to mixed b/g/n (or what is it set to?) can you
experiment with that setting and

2. can you try WPA2-Personal and use a passphrase like 1234testing ?

first, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/933872/en-us

please post the text output of

ipconfig /all

http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com/ipconfig-all-how-to-get-text-output/

#3 runs Vista Home Premium, but I cannot connect to the Internet. You can
see the wireless network with a strong signal, but the connection is Local.
If I remove WPA and make the network unsecured, I can connect to the
Internet. If I plug in an Ethernet cable in this computer and into a port on
the router, I can connect to the Internet.
I checked ipconfig and it shows for the wireless network that there is no
default gateway, and the user ID does not show like it does when I run
ipconfig with the network unsecured.

I fixed this problem! Thanks for all of your help. Here's what I did:

1. Disabled IPv6 for the wireless adapter. When I did this, I saw the
default gateway IP address come up and my wife's computer name was
recognized. I saw this in ipconfig.

2. Checked the domain for all of the computers on the network. I did this by
looking at the map of devices on the network. I then went to the router
network settings and found the domain name was blank. I filled in the domain
name even though the field says it's optional - don't believe the hype!

3. I also checked off two fields regarding NETBIOS. One of said something
about allowing NETBIOS to talk to WAN. I'm at work right now, and I don't
remember what the other field was, but I checked it off.

Then the wireless network started working! It only took 7 days to solve.
Piece of cake. NOT!!!

Thanks, Mick & Barb. You gave me clues that helped me resolve this trouble.
 
glad this is resolved. I don't recall you mentioning you were not in
workgroup mode, so was surprised as you mentioned Vista Home
Premium, etc. - are you sure you are not in a workgroup?

anyway, hope it is smooth sailing going forward.

These computers are at my home. The domain name "WORKGROUP" appears to be a
default name that Vista assigns. I don't work from home, nor do I have access
to my employer's intranet.
