Errors 1231/1232 Unidentified Network

Hi,

I have a problem that I'm quite sure is Vista-Asscociated.

I recently switched from directly being plugged into my modem, to a
router-system at home for my computer.

However, the problem is that I get the "Unidentified Network" in the
Networks section, and I can't ping my own IP or Default gate way, as it gives
me a "PING: transmit failed, error code 1231." message.

Currently, all my settings in the IPv4 protocol are set to auto, and setting
them manually makes no difference, except that it gives me error 1232 instead
of 1231...

It's probably also worth mentioning that Vista does connect to the network,
calling it the 'Network #', and during that second or two, I can get all the
numbers in ipconfig, but very soon after, Vista changes the 'Network #' to
'Unidentified Network', and all the numbers in ipconfig are lost. Vista also
states the my IP is used on the Network by another computer, even though it
definitely isn't.

I've tried pretty much everything I could, including

http://blogs.technet.com/steve_lamb...ing-vista-less-aggressive-on-the-network.aspx

and

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233/en-us

I'm currently using Realtek RTL8168/8110 Family PCI Gigabit Ethernet NIC
running Vista Ultimate.
I have 4 other computers at home, all capable of connecting to the network,
and going on the internet and everything. (all running XP)

Vista obviously cannot repair the problem itself.
Any help would be greately appreciated.

Thanks.
 
as a test, can you set your NIC to 100mbps full duplex?

1. Click Start, type ncpa.cpl in the Start Search box, and then
click ncpa.cpl in the Programs list.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue.
2. Right-click the Gigabit network connection, and then click
Properties.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue.
3. On the Networking tab, click Configure.
4. On the Advanced tab, click the property that is in the Property
box.
5. In the Value box, click the value that represents the 100 Mbps
Full Duplex setting, and then click OK.

okay done.. nothing really happened.. the network connection disabled itself,
then enabled itself again and is still "Unidentified Network", same situation.
 
what router are you using? brand/model/hardware rev? what firmware?
have you tried a factory reset of the router?

if the stack itself has become corrupt in Vista, try a reset by
opening an elevated cmd prompt (run as administrator) and typing

netsh int ip reset [enter]

then, please post the complete results of ipconfig /all from that
computer.

I'm using a Xincom Twin Wan Router XC-DPG502 Ver 2.1 Rel 2O.
I'm not doing a factory reset because I need to keep a lot of my settings on
the router.
I tried the reset, no difference. Btw: It's still set on full 100mbs duplex.

Here's the IPConfig /all results:

hard to tell from what you posted (I expected you to copy the output
to the clipboard and paste in here as a reply) but I don't see any
IPv4 at all in that image.

from an elevated command prompt please run the following

netsh int ip reset resetnet.txt [enter]

restart your computer

what happens?

That picture I put up is exactly how it came when I typed in ipconfig /all
after running cmd as administrator...
I don't know how to copy/paste the ipconfig results onto the clipboard :S

I also did the netsh int ip reset reset.txt and for some reason (this didn't
happen last time I tried it) it said "Reseting Echo Request, failed.
Acess Denied.

Reseting User Interface, Ok!
A reboot is required..." etc.

After rebooting, it's still the same, and reseting int ip gives the same
output.

Hi,

I have a problem that I'm quite sure is Vista-Asscociated.

I recently switched from directly being plugged into my modem, to a
router-system at home for my computer.

However, the problem is that I get the "Unidentified Network" in the
Networks section, and I can't ping my own IP or Default gate way, as it gives
me a "PING: transmit failed, error code 1231." message.

Currently, all my settings in the IPv4 protocol are set to auto, and setting
them manually makes no difference, except that it gives me error 1232 instead
of 1231...

It's probably also worth mentioning that Vista does connect to the network,
calling it the 'Network #', and during that second or two, I can get all the
numbers in ipconfig, but very soon after, Vista changes the 'Network #' to
'Unidentified Network', and all the numbers in ipconfig are lost. Vista also
states the my IP is used on the Network by another computer, even though it
definitely isn't.

I've tried pretty much everything I could, including

http://blogs.technet.com/steve_lamb...ing-vista-less-aggressive-on-the-network.aspx

and

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233/en-us

I'm currently using Realtek RTL8168/8110 Family PCI Gigabit Ethernet NIC
running Vista Ultimate.
I have 4 other computers at home, all capable of connecting to the network,
and going on the internet and everything. (all running XP)

Vista obviously cannot repair the problem itself.
Any help would be greately appreciated.

Thanks.

have you tried deleting the NIC from dev mgr, then shutting down the
computer completely, then turning it back on and letting it
rediscover the NIC and install drivers?

It's probably also worth mentioning that Vista does connect to the network,
calling it the 'Network #', and during that second or two, I can get all the
numbers in ipconfig, but very soon after, Vista changes the 'Network #' to
'Unidentified Network', and all the numbers in ipconfig are lost. Vista also
states the my IP is used on the Network by another computer, even though it
definitely isn't.

I've tried pretty much everything I could, including

http://blogs.technet.com/steve_lamb...ing-vista-less-aggressive-on-the-network.aspx

and

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233/en-us

I'm currently using Realtek RTL8168/8110 Family PCI Gigabit Ethernet NIC
running Vista Ultimate.
I have 4 other computers at home, all capable of connecting to the network,
and going on the internet and everything. (all running XP)

Vista obviously cannot repair the problem itself.
Any help would be greately appreciated.

Thanks.

Did, nothing even close to the name "reset" except this one 15kb random app..

Do you abosolutely need the .txt? can we go around that info or get it
differently somehow?
 
Checked/Enabled, set to auto obtain.

P.S: I just intalled VMware and I'm running a virtual system (XP), and the
internet works fine. So it's definitely a problem with Vista. Something in
security, because I would only use this computer through a router, and at
home.. so is there a way to turn off like.. ALL security features for the
networks? Turning off Firewall doesn't work, I'm thinking maybe more
administrative tools or something? And then add security as I go along..?
Would that work?

Thanks for all your help btw, I'm sure you can figure out what's wrong.
 
there is no question that something is wrong with tcp/ipv4 in Vista
as the info you posted did not show an IPv4 IP address or subnet,
etc. I posted the following ealier but don't see that you have done
this:

"have you tried deleting the NIC from dev mgr, then shutting down
the computer completely, then turning it back on and letting it
rediscover the NIC and install drivers?"

well, we are down to only a few options. the fact that you were
previously directly connected to the Internet without a router left
you more vulnerable to exploits than being behind a router. I don't
know the details of how you went from being directly connected via a
modem to having a 4-5 computer network.

But some questions -
did you disable and services or programs?
did you have a virus that you repaired?

the fact that the ipconfig /all only shows IPv6 active but no sign
of IPv4 while the GUI appears to show IPv4 active certainly proves
there is a problem. (it would be worth a final test to disable IPv6
in network props for the NIC just to see what shows up in ipconfig
/all)



Yes I have... it reinstalls the same driver, no difference.

Hey Barb.. You'll be happy to know I have got it working!! =D
Basically, the problem was that the Xincom router firmware was a little
outdated, and they released a new version 2 months ago, this year, so
upgrading that router fixed all the problems. Everything works great now.

Thanks a lot for your help, I can configure the rest myself.
You obviously are very knowledgeable in this area, so I guess if you're
helping other people, suggest to upgrade their firmware ;)
Thanks again.

glad it's working. my second reply asked you about firmware :-)
