vista 2 - no internet...

[GuitarMan]

Weird thing... see's the nic and sets it up with no problem.
My ZyXEL X-550 router gives it an IP and I can browse and access local
workgroup PC's and I can even ping places like www.yahoo.com from the DOS
prompt but when I open IE I can't get to any sites...anybody have this
problem or have any ideas on this? I've tried everything I can think of at
this point... static IP, DHCP, IP, turning off firewall, etc....

Try using a direct modem connection - from computer to the phone line, and
see if that works. Then, you'll know whether it's the router or in fact
Vista )

Got it figured out....
seems Vista doesn't like SPI enabled on the router end. If I disable SPI in
the router it works. Definetly a Vista thing as other XP machines on my
network don't have that issue...
