Unidentified Network / Access: Local Only

Spider.

I am running Vista Home Premium.

Striker extreme Mobo
Q6600
Linksys wrt54gs router
Connected with ethernet cable

I was online yesterday all day. I put my rig to sleep last night. It
powered off during the night. I turn it on this afternoon. No internet
access.

Every other XP machine is online fine, wireless and wired.

I have tried just about every fix I have seen:

Disable DHCP Flags
no firewalls
blah, blah, blah.
Restarted router, modem, car, dog, etc.

What can I do or try?

A list would be nice. A chatting support option would be nice. A little
instant messenger like device with a tech on the other end.

I will take what I can get.
 
Have you check if there is a new firmware for the router or driver for NIC?
Or this link may help.

I have tried the solutions from the link you posted with no resolution.
I updated firmware to no avail.

Any other suggestions?
 
I have also:
dumped the dns cache.
Did something with winsock.
released ipconfig
renewed ipconfig

hooked direct to modem with no internet connected to it to see if it would
at least recognize my modem.

system restored to yesterday.

rolled back my nic driver and then updated it again.

turned off IPv6. back on.
set static IP, DNS, not auto
disabled and re-enabled my ethernet ports.
turned off and then back on my DHCP conn flag something or other in my
registry.

I am seriously researching this and trying everything. I am even obviously
reaching far beyond my normal comfortzone with computers.

Give me more to try.
Or please send me XP pro until vista SP1 is out or this is fixed. lol.
==============================================
 
Here is what I have tried:

Released and renewed ipconfig
dumped dns cache
something with winsock
changed values of DHCP conn flag to 0, then back to 1 when it didn't work.
set static ip, dns
disabled and enabled ethernet ports
updated firmware on router.
rolled back driver of NIC, then updated it again.
system restored a day back
hooked up modem direct with no router
hooked up modem with out internet connection to see if it would recognize
modem.
ping modem, ping router
rebooted 37 times

I need more things to try.

And/Or. a copy of XP pro to use until what I paid for will work. :)
 
Thank you for your request. I would, however, like to add a caviat. It
definately put a bad taste in my mouth to have to run that, copy it, open
notepad, save it, plug in a flash drive, transfer it, safely eject the drive,
put the drive in another computer running xp, open the file, copy the file,
then paste the file here for some one to view. It is rather humorous, and
aggrivating at the same time.

I surely hope that someone can help me with this.

I re-read my previous posts. I neglected to say that I had disabled IPv6, it
did not fix the issue. In the interest of doing whatever it takes, I
disabled and removed the tunnel again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate the troubleshooting.

What next?

the ipconfig shows 2 NICs with IPv6 enabled. have you tried both
NICs with IPv6 unbound? have you tried disabling the NIC you are not
using in Device manager?

I re-read my previous posts. I neglected to say that I had disabled IPv6, it
did not fix the issue. In the interest of doing whatever it takes, I
disabled and removed the tunnel again.

I have tried the solutions from the link you posted with no resolution.
I updated firmware to no avail.

Any other suggestions?

ok, so after I posted that response, I decided to do what I had been doing.
Re-try any suggestions made here, even if I had done them twice before. I
really want tis fixed. i don't want to give up on vista yet.

I turn on my computer and it worked. A box popped up asking me to set my
network settings, home,work, etc.

i don't get it, i did nothing. So how long will it work? And, of course it
doesn't see the rest of my computers. They are set at NTFS. I am afraid to
try to fix that. I am afraid it will go back offline, since I didn't do
anything. I just turned it off and walked away. Then turned it on this
morning and it worked.

So in your opinions, is this a permanantly fixed issue? magic?
 
magic is always a good solution..

do you see other computers after 15 minutes or so?

Spider,

I want you to know that you are not alone.

I have worked consistently for the last 3 months to try to get the two XP
machines to recognize the new Vista machine on the wireless network. I go way
beyond my "comfort zone", make little progress, and then lose that progress.

My biggest error, I think, is making the assumption that Vista will behave
consistently.

There are only two possibilities, re-starting the dog a. solved your
connection problems, or b. had nothing to do with your connection problems.

I have no dog. Do you have any advice?
 
Thank you to all those that tried to assist me. I will take magic, if it
sticks, and continues to work.

Weazer, my advice is to do what I did. Try every freakin' fix you find on
the internet support sites. Then acquire a copy of XP Pro 64bit so you take
the stress out of, "what am I gonna do?". That made me a little, just a
little, more patient with Vista. Now I have a back up if it poops out again.
I will just clean install XP Pro 64 and wait for Vista to decide that the
internet is an integral part of modern day home computing. (Maybe SP1 or 2.)
IDK.

Barb, the xp computers did not show up. So I decided that I had nothing to
lose, since I can't be sure the problem is truly fixed anyway. I installed
the LLTD files on my other two computers running XP. It worked for me.

Here Weazer: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70582
Try installing that on the xp rigs if you haven't, it worked for me. All
computers can see each other.

Point of note, you can't really buy more powerfull parts than I purchased to
build this new high end gaming rig. This was not old equipment or old
design, this was the latest and greatest (almost) of parts. I have no clue
what was wrong or how it got fixed. i have been computing since the days of
the commodore 64 and the Apple and apple II and Apple IIe. I remember
logging onto BBS sites over the phone that was strapped with a rubber band to
a mic over the handset to play blackjack and chat with people. Bottom line,
Buy some magic Weazer.

Oh, and a dog, I think it may have helped.

Spider.
