Vista, nice name, not working.
With Xp-computers I never had problems connecting to my network.
I have a network with a XP-computer connecting directly to the internet. The
network consist out of a hub connected to each computer. One is still a
machine running W98se.
When I connected the Vista computer to the network, it immediately
discovered the network. I had access to the XP and W98 computers and vice
versa.
From Vista i had access to the internet through the XP-machine.
Then the problems came up.
Suddenly i had no connection to the network anymore.
He now sees an "unkown network" and "public network" in stead of private.
If i try to customize, i cannot change the name of the network (i can select
it but i cannot change it).
As i have no internet access from the vista computer i cannot check updates
or run test...
When i run "diagnose and repair" (sometimes it takes several minutes to
complete) i most often get that there might be a problem with the
networkrouter.
Last week it suddenly worked again, speed was ok, i was happy allthough i
did not knew WHY is was working again. After an our or so, the link broke
again for some reason... and since then i have no internet access, no
network, no file sharing, no printer sharing.... I wish i never bought that
stupid machine.
Or is there somebody that can solve my problem?
(network detection on, sharing on, etc, passwords off, firewall off, no
virusscanner(!), and i tried everything i could the i could find in this
discussion group)
