Excellent Signal Strength But Limited / No Connectivity
Sep 5, 2009
Got a new laptop (VISTA) and already have a wireless router (netgear) in the house. We connected the laptop wirelessly with no problems yesterday and this morning. Then, out of the blue, I get a "limited connectivity" message even though the signal strength is excellent. Our wireless network is the only one that's listed "connect automatically" and we were connected to it yesterday and this morning with no problems.

I know there are several threads like this on the vista forums, but the postmaster recommended a new thread so i am kindly obliging. I have the same ****ty problem many before me have had. One peeerty day I turned on my Vista comp, and all of a sudden my wireless connection had stopped working. Limited or no connectivity was the message I got. So I fired up my notebook, running with XP - same thing. Limited or no connectivity. Only when I did diagnose problem on my XP it did precisely that. and the problem was gone............

I'm on Vista Ultimate x32. I connect to my internet wirelessly using a Linksys USB adapter. When I'm downloading something my internet stops working, downloads top and it says limited or no connectivity - so I have to disconnect from the network, unplug the USB Adapter and then re-plug it in and then it connects.

My Packard Bell EasyNote MX37-U-05 (Running Vista Home premium) was working fne on a wireless network through a BT Wireless home hub. It did automatic updates and since then has connection problem reporting "limited Connectivity" what does this mean and how can I cure this problem? It seems to be the same if I connect through the Wireless or direct on the hub Lan connection.

I m trying to resolve limited internet connectivity via ICS. My Vista 64bit Ultimate notebook connects directly to a wireless network, from which it gets internet connectivity. I can visit any webpage and see all network devices, so things seem to be working great on the server side.
My other computer, the ICS client, runs 32bit XP pro and is set up to connect to the internet through my notebook. Between the two PCs is a spare buffalo WHR-HP-G54. I can see all network devices, but it fails to connect to most websites. It will display Google and *some* pages from Time Warner Cable, but I cannot get to Wiki pages, my favorite forums, or download updates for anything on my desktop PC. Based on the status bar of my browser, which usually gets as far as "Transferring data from ", it seems the communication problem is limited to incoming streams........

About 3 days ago I was downloading a file when I noticed the download had stopped half-way through. Thinking the router had frozen I unplugged the router to reset it, as I have done a hundred times before with no problem. After restarting the router Vista (Home Premium 32-bit SP1) stopped recognizing my home network (wired) and I started receiving a "Limited Connectivity" message. When I go into the Network & Sharing screen I see "Unknown Network". When I boot this same computer into Ubuntu (7.10) I can access my network and the internet. I also have a small Ubuntu server and Xbox 360 that can access the network just fine. This is definitely a Vista issue. After trying many, many suggestions (Unplug router, Reset router, IP refresh,...) from around the internet with no success, I purchased a new PCI Ethernet card (Netgear GA311) just to rule out a possible hardware issue. I unistalled the onboard lan in Vista and disabled it in the BIOS then installed the new card. No Luck, Same Problem. My router is a Netgear FWG114P. I have had this network for over a year with no issues and now, out of the blue, nothing. I tried re-entering the IP, Subnet, Default Gateway and DNS addresses for the ethernet adapter, NO LUCK. I did notice a strange issue when I ran "Ipconfig /all" The default gateway was shown as "0.0.0.0". After re-entering the gateway address, the gateway was listed as "0.0.0.0" with my gateway address listed below.

I am one of the many users experiencing problems with wireless connections that work until your laptop goes into powersave mode, then only allow "Limited or No Connectivity" I have 2 wireless routers, a Linksys and ActionTec, supplied by Verizon with FiOS and Linksys has helped me a couple of times to make it work but that is all. Verizon is clueless. As am I since I have 4 XP laptops that all work. Vista is apparently trying to prevent me from hurting myself, and therefore I am unable to fix it.

After upgrading Vista Ultimate to SP1 two days ago, I noticed on the Taskbar that I'm getting a yellow Caution symbol on top of the Network Icon. My internet connection seems to be working correctly. I've tried resetting my Linksys router, removed and reinstalled Norton Internet Security 2008, upgraded my NIC drivers, (I'm using an ASUS P5K Deluxe motherboard with built-in networking.), tried the Network repair options, etc.

I have 2 computers at home both running XP SP2. One plugs directly into my Netgear router and the other is wireless. I recently bought a laptop withe Vista Home Premium. I was able to connect to the network before, but I think I accident;y changed something. It is now showing my network as a public network. It continually says "Identifying. Public Network)" in the Network and Sharing Center. Access is Limited connectivity. Also I am NOT able to access the Customize link in the NaS Center like I was before.

I've been having this issue with Vista for over a year now. I just recently reformatted my machine AND bought a new PCI network card (I thought maybe the problem might be related to the onboard network port/driver) and the issue still persists.
This is a nasty one. My network connection simply cuts out at random times. By random I mean I'll be connected between 15 or so minutes to up to 2 or 3 days before the problem occurs. My network icon down in the task tray will show a yellow exclaimation with the message "limited network connectivity." The only way to fix this is to reboot. What's worse is that there are no errors in thrown in any of the Event Viewer logs.

From time to time, specially when I`m doing heavy uploads or heavy downloads my connection goes from full internet to "Local Only" or "Limited Connectivity". Thus, all internet access is lost until I reset the connection (disconnect and connect again). When the connection is reset, the problem is solved and the issue is fixed, that is, until it happens again a few hours or days later.
I`ve found out that this is quite an usual problem for all Vista users, most of my friends have this same problem and I`ve seen hundreads of posts in the internet about it, but no solutions were found. I`m running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit on a HP dv7-1245dx notebook. I have another PC which also runs Vista 64bit, two notebooks and a PC that run WinXP.
From all of these machines, only the ones running Vista are affected, I do not have this problem with the machines running WinXP. All machines are wireless (connected through WIFI) but the PC running WinXP. I`ll use my main notebook as the scenario for troubleshooting. ...........

The computer starts up with wireless networking and wireless connection working fine. At some seemingly random time (usually a few hours) my connection status will go from "local and internet" to "limited connectivity" with the little yellow warning icon. I try disconnecting and reconnecting, it can't connect. I turn off and on the adapter using the on-keyboard button, it says it is going "off" then "on" but connection is not restored. "Repair" attempts fail immediately, with no explanation given, it just says it can't connect.
I can't ping any IP address or websites, I get "host unreachable" messages. The only solution is to restart, at which point everything is fine. Note that in this time when the wireless is not functioning, I can plug in an ethernet cable and be connected to the internet just fine. I did IPCONFIG/ALL in the connected state, and the 'after' disconnected state. In the connected state: Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:........

my grandmas pc can't seem to solve. I'm getting a no signal message on the monitor when I power on the system. I've tried a different video cable, monitor, and even a new motherboard but I still get the same issue no matter what. The system is a HP Pavilion a6110n. Tried posting on their site but all they want you to do is take it in to have it serviced.

While playing any game, my monitor blinks off with a No Signal message and a few seconds later my computer finishes crashing and I have to reboot. I've replaced the graphics card, ram, and motherboard, and ensured all drivers are up to date, but I'm still getting the exact same issue. It only happens when playing games I can leave it running the desktop for as long as I want.

I have a Viewsonic LCD monitor. i just put a new pc together with an XFXForce 8600GT video card. The problem is when i boot the pc i see the bios screen fine. it's not until i see 'Micrsoft Corporation' and am about to see the status bar going back and forth that the screen goes blank and i then see 'No sginal'. I'm connected using a DVI-I cable. If i unplug the cable from either the card or monitor and plug it back in i then get video. I sent the monitor to Viewsonic which they said they fixed a problem. hmmm anyway i'm still seeing this proble. If i use a VGA cable with a DVI adapter i won't have this problem. While the LCD monitor was away i used an old CRT monitor with a VGA cable and had no problem.

I have an HP Media pc with dual ViXS PureTV-U48B0 tuner, and I have it configured in Media Center for ATSC only. All of the local on-air digital stations are received well, except the local PBS. The Media Center does not detect any signal for that PBS station no matter how I position my digital antenna. If I connect a tv directly to the same antenna feed, the tv detects a strong signal for the PBS station and receives broadcasts fine. I have the most up-to-date driver for the tuner card in the pc.
I saw a note on HP's site that Media Center may not work with some more recent DT compression formats. When I downloaded MediaPortal and installed it on the same PC, it detected the PBS station perfectly, but one of the other local DT stations that Media Center played well was not detected at all, plus Media Portal is not as user friendly.

When trying to run a Windows Photo Gallery slide show, the screen goes black and the TV reports "no signal". Some web blogs suggest it can be solved by changing the "ICC ofile".

I'm having trouble getting my USB EasyCap Video Capture to work on my HP laptop running Vista Home Premium X 32 bit. The Ulead software appears to be installed ok. I wonder, if the driver on the Ulead disk any good? I read that maybe an Stk1160 driver should replace the old driver.(?) When I try to use this through the TV, I get the message "no signal found". The Ulead disk is dated 2006. Is there an update to this disk?

I have an old machine running Win2K and a new laptop running Vista. Both machines are in a workgroup. The Vista machine can see itself, the Win2K machine and the router. owever, the Win2K machine can see only itself. Can someone tell me if Microsoft did this purposely to encourage people to migrate to Vista? Everything seems to be configured properly. If someone can tell me how to check out things thoroughly,

After I shared my C drive on a network it was working fine. I then unshared it but something went wrong and said the hard drive would be in a mixed state if i didn't continue the operation fully. i ignored it(idiot) and carried on. but now i cant access my C drive directly but i can access my documents. i was thinking i would just system restore it but i cant even access that and i cant back up my files either. but i can access them. I have tried changing permissions in the security tab of c drive but it wont let me stating that access is denied and i have tried to enable the guest account but it wont even open up the window to do so.

Dell laptop Inspiron 1545, WRT54GS - "Connected With Limited Access" - drove me up the wall. Tried everything. Browsed other forums for hours. What did I do? Just for grins, and for NO particular reason, I switched from WEP to WPA Personal / TKIP in the router and to WPA / TKIP in the laptop and other PC, entered the ten-char key I've always used, and POOF - instant connection.
