Hi,

When I boot up Vista my network shows 'Limited Connectivity'. If I
then physically disconnect then reconnect the LAN cable I can then
access 'Local and Internet'.

If after bootup if I use Diagnose and Repair it has no effect.
I loaded drivers from the Intel website for the NIC (Intel 82566DC)
which made no change.
I tried setting a static IP address instead of DHCP which had no
effect.
I did a Dell Diagnostic on the card itself which it passed.

XP systems on the LAN connect at startup without problems.

Any further diagnostics to do, or ideas welcome!

Thanks,

Gids
 
I came across a suggestion while researching my own problem: make sure that
netBIOS over TCP/IP is active for TCP/IP v4

HTH!
 
Hi gids,

I am having same problems - have you sorted it, if so perhaps you can let me
know what you have done.

Thanks,
Lor
