Hello Barb, I hope You could help me too. I have a very same problem with
internet connectivity as Dustin Brown who started this thread. I can easily
connect every time, but every few hours I loose connection, simetimes access
is marked as "local only" , but sometimes as "local and internet". I can
solve it sometimes by restarting the Windows, sometimes by reseting the
router and other time by reseting the LAN adapter. My Vista Home Premium was
working well for almost 10 months but few months ago this problem occurs for
the first time. I have automatic updates turn on and I have strong suspicion
that this problem started after one of the Vista updates during
October-November 2007. I have this problem on desktop PC with wired
connection but wireless has this problem even more often so I don't use it at
all. My laptop with XP works well on wireless connection. My processor is
Intel Pentium D CPU 3.40 GHz 3.4GHz,memory(RAM) 3071MB,32-bit OS. My LAN
adapter is Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100Base-T Controller. Antivirus is
AVG. Since the problem begin I have changed three diferent routers (Siemens
Gigaset SE-555, Zyxel P-600HW D-3 and now I have D-Link DSL-G684T). I can not
use anything else because that is what my service provider gives me and I
have IP-TV through same router. Firmware is also provided by my service
provider and must have support for IP-TV. EGD Evaluations tests are all
"suported" except test 5 - UPnP support test- which is not supported.
I tried disabling TCP IPv6 adress and QoS Packet Scheduler and Link-Layer
Topology Discovery I/O Driver with no result. Since I have started to use
static IP adress numbers of disconnections reduces so I continue to use
static IP adress on my LAN adapter.
IP config-all result is here:

Please post the text output of
ipconfig /all
run from a command prompt
what brand and model modem? what brand and model router and what
firmware?
please give a complete description of your problem. this thread has
a subject of loosing (losing) Internet Connectivity. do you ever
connect? for how long? what happens? I would not assume your problem
is technically identical.
