It appears that in Vista, the DNS server(s) for a PPP connection are always favored over those from other connection regardless of the service provider order defined. This can be verified by using the nslookup command without any arguments and looking at the Default Server that is displayed. This is different than XP. Is there any way to change this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a network with two computers, one with XP and the other one with Vista Ultimate. Both computers are wired to a Lynksys router. Before the Vista installation, I had no problem. Now, when I boot and try to go on the net, I got an error message "There is more than one active network connection on this computer."
Th only but cumbersome solution I found was to go in "Network ans sharing Center" where there was not only my private network but also an "unindentified public network". I had to disable the local connection for it then go to diagnose and repair in order to reinstall the local area connection. After that, everything is fine ... until the next reboot.
what does bridging a connection do? on my manage network connections tab. i highlight the 2 connections, right click, and click on bridge connections. what does it do exactly?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Windows Vista the networking components were designed to be much more intelligent and automatically adjust the network settings to optimize the connection speed. This is a great new feature. Your network components basically tweak themselves for optimal performance. In most situations, these components automatically adjust perfectly for best performance. However, with wireless WAN cards the detection of network conditions is flawed and can result in slower network performance.
To fix this problem, Microsoft has released a hotfix for users affected by this issue. If you have a Wireless WAN device, I suggest you give this hotfix a try....
I have four computers on a very basic network. one computer running windows vista business. one running xp pro. and two running windows xp home. I have set them up so now I can see and enter all computers from any computer I think. the problem is when I tried to open up a remote desktop connection to one of the other computers I kept getting this message. THIS COMPUTER CAN'T CONNECT TO THE REMOTE COMPUTER? i THINK MOST OF YOU WILL KNOW THE REST. Also if any person is having trouble with their computers not seeing each other then do what I have done. I was having trouble connecting all my computers upto the network until I bought a copy of Microsoft live one care and installed it on to three computers and now everything is ok. but I still cannot connect to a remote computer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Asus PW5 DH Deluxe with dual Marvell Yukon 88e8503 Gigabit network adapters and a Realtek Wireless adapter intergrated into the motherboard. I've been running Vista Ultimate x64 for well over a year with absolutely no issues whatsoever. This past Wednesday evening I finished using the computer, left it on like I normally do and left my office. When I came in the next morning none of the NICs where working. All I get is the "X" over the icons showing that nothing is plugged in. I tried all of the onboard NICs with no luck, I tried new cables, new drivers, I even tried a different router although all of the other machines on the network are fine. I looked and saw that some Windows updates were installed the previous night, suspected that they were the culprit I uninstalled them with no luck.
I tried Winsock reset, no luck. I installed a new NIC, no luck. I was going to do a system restore but for some reason my computer only had two restore points. The latest one being the reboot from the Windows updates being installed. I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. I've disable the firewall even though without getting a network connection period I don't see that being the problem. It didn't help.
All of the other machines on the network are humming along nicely, including the one I'm making this post with. Do you have any ideas that I could try? I really want to NOT wipe and reload this system if possible. My gut tells me this is from the Windows updates but then why didn't uninstalling them help.
I just installed SP1, uneventful and everything seemed fine. But when finished my network services totally fail.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe new Network and Sharing Center in Windows Vista is great for the average Windows user but can be a huge headache for advanced users. When I need to make a change to my network settings I don't want to be forced to go through the networking interface for the average non-technical users. I want to go right to the settings screen and make the change.Â
I am a big fan of the old Windows XP network approach where I could modify all of the network settings and connect to wireless network from the Network Connections screen. In Windows Vista, the Network Connections screen still exists, as shown above, but you have to go through the Network and Sharing Center screen first. Using a very useful explorer trick I discovered when playing with "::" and explorer class IDs, you can create a shortcut that will take you directly to the Network Connections screen.
Right click on the desktop and select New and then Shortcut.
In the location box, copy and paste explorer.exe ::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} and hit Next....
I am really not very good with hardware, but I want to install some new USB 3.0 ports. I have selected a card, ASUS U2S6 USB3.0/Sata3 6Gbps PCIE Card and I want to install it. I have checked my computer and I do have the required PCI-E port. That is not the problem. Just two questions:
1) This website seems to suggest that it will only work on some very selected motherboards. Asus U3S6 USB3.0 & SATA 6Gbps PCI-Express Controller Card [U3S6] Controller Cards SATA III 6Gbps
Compatible motherboards: P7P55D Deluxe, P7P55D EVO, P7P55D PRO, P7P55D, P7P55D LE, P7P55 LX However, my motherboard is not listed. I thought that PCI-E cards were just meant to be insert and install drivers. Is this not the case?
2) Also, I have noticed that this card does not require additional power. Does this mean that it might not be able to power some of the more power consuming USB gadgets that I might buy? Therefore, would this be a better choice: UNITEK 2 Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card Reviewed.
I do have a spare Molex power cable, so that would not be a problem, though an extension would be required (again not a problem) I do like the idea of having the extra SATA3 connections (and I know that using them may slow things down) but primarily this is for my USBs, so I want proper functionality.
Ever wonder why you get network authentication errors when you are trying access a mapped network share from a process that was elevated by UAC? Josh over at WindowsConnected has a great article on how you can fix this annoying issue:
On Windows Vista when you map a drive under your admin account you will find that your mapped drive is not available after you switch to your full token via a RunAs or Consent dialog. This is by design because there are actually two tokens in play here. What happens is the LSA recognized that you are admin at logon and creates two logons. The first with a "filtered" token or non-admin which is used to render your desktop and the other containing your full token to be available after consent dialogs.Â
Because there are two separate logons there are separate logon ID's. When network shares are mapped they are linked to the current logon session for the current process token. Meaning you don't have access to the network drive from the alternate logon. This can come into play with logon scripts and a number of other areas where you may require access to a network share from both tokens....
This is what my system has and I would like to ask you guys if everything works to the maximum. Why do I only have 2.12 available of physical memory?
I would love to hear what you say guys. Tnx.

On one of my computers a newly created Folder In my Documents does not find its correct space in alphabetical order when the name is inserted but stays at the bottom of the list of Folders in My Documents, requiring it to be placed in the correct place by hand incurring all the difficulties of merging Folders at the same time - all time consuming. Is there a way of correcting this? The Technical Assistance for HP Compaq failed to find a solution - maybe you readers are better equipped with the grey matter than they are?

I purchased a new computer that came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I purchased the Any Time Upgrade for Vista Ultimate. MS had to mail me the Any Time Disc, which is taking a long time coming. I haven't installed any software, including my anti virus, thinking it would be best to do the system upgrade first. Is this correct, or can I just go ahead and load the other software (Office 2007, QuickBooks 2008) and Trend Micro Internet Security?
