Network Connection Running Fine Ics Cannot Work

Mar 28, 2008

Ive just had broadband connected to my house. Currently I have a network consisting of four computers connected through an internal switch on one of my computers in one of the bedrooms for ease of cabling. The computer with the broadband modem has been chosen as it is newest and is closest to the telephone line socket. It has two network cards, one connected to the modem and the other to the rest of the network. Independantly, the network connections are running fine (all computers can see each other and transfer data properly) and the internet connection is working well for the computer connected directly to the modem.

The network is setup using Static IP Addresses 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.4 (With 0.1 being for the host) and the modem is connected using a different set of IP addresses. I have also set the internet connection sharing options according to what is required on the microsoft website for both the internet host and clients. I have both Norton Antivirus and Zonealarm activated on all computers but have set them up to allow access to each other. My problem therefore is, despite my broadband connection working on the one computer, and my network connections working, I cannot get ICS to work.

Network/internet Connection Works Fine In XP But Not In Vista

Mar 23, 2008

I have a fairly new desktop (8 months old) with windows xp. On another partition I installed Vista Business, then updated the chipset drivers for my system. The network adapter was not picked up so I installed it manually with the updated drivers from the manufacturer (integrated adapter) which seemed to work (it made a connection) but when I re-booted there was no network connection and the light on the card is not longer on. In the device manager it says the card is working properly. I tried reinstalling the adapter driver but to no avail. My network/internet connection works fine in XP. I'm suspecting it may be some sort of security issue or possibly something with the drivers although I contacted the manufacturer of the machine (Systemax) and they said they've had no reported problems with the drivers.

Local Network Connection Can't Work

Jan 22, 2008

I've searched everywhere looking for the fix to the "Local Only" network problem. I've had it a couple days and can't find why I can't get through to the internet. I have disabled IPv6 and tried static ip which I don't think works with my router and some registry fixes and cmd commands. I'm connected through Ethernet wire so it's not a wireless thing. I don't know if I should switch back to XP Pro or maybe buy a new network card. .....The first is if I set my ip static and the second without it. It seems that if I don't set my ip static then it does not find the router and only finds unidentified network while if I set my ip static it does but I don't believe my router works with setting static ip from the computer. I can also see the other computers linked into my router but just can't access the internet making me believe it is something with the compatibility with the router and Vista. Okay here it is, this is all without IPv6.
STATIC IP:
C:UsersChris>ipconfig /all
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Chris-PC
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No.............

Network Fine, New Machine Not Connect

Apr 15, 2008

We have XP computers and an external hard drive on a network, all working fine. Just got a new Vista computer right out of the box and I can not get it to do anything with the network and none of the other computers can see it either. There are no fancy setups, just a small business network. There isnt even an internet connection we need to deal with. With Vista, all i can see is an "unidentified network" as being seen but it doesnt seem to do anything with it.

Limited On Secure Network Fine On Unsecured

Mar 25, 2009

One new computer using Vista Home. Installed wireless network card and ran software. Found and established connection to wireless network in the office. Then....I setup the network to be secured, connected with a Win XP computer with no problems using the correct key. Did the same process with the Vista computer, found the network, asked for key, entered correct key and have limited connection. Reset everything on network. Switched back to unsecured and hooked right up. Disabled firewall, the only thing running is McAfee Total Protection, no firewalls.

Wireless LAN Fails, All Parts Work Fine.

Nov 28, 2007

Small home wireless LAN, Netgear WGR614v4 router, Using WPA, two XP machines, one Vista (home Basic ),

1) all working ok for many hours, except when
2) Vista machine goes to sleep mode. On wakeup, no connection. Network SSID is visible, good signal, but repeated attempts to connect fail.
3) Other computers connect to router, and internet fine. They can also standby/poweroff and restart fine. Still connected.
4) Reboot Vista computer, no help. Network settings look normal, just no connection to wireless router. Incredibly irritating Vista diagnostic tool suggests I connect to a another network, or recycle the router. (If the router was close enough to be easily recycled, I would just plug in an ethernet cable. But it is not, and I am tired of unnecessary trips to the basement.)
5) Power cycle router, and everything fine again.

Joystick Configured Other Games Not Work Fine

Jun 5, 2009

HAWX: which is that the aircraft doesn't stop spinning, i am unable to control the plane. I use a PlayStation 2 USB joystick which has been configured and synced with the PC, so that the every button/joystick works. I am 100% sure that there is not a problem with the joystick, as i use it for other games such as Microsoft Flight Sim X and Test drive unlimited. The analogue sticks and buttons work fine.

i have tried both changing the control setting to keyboard but, once again the problem is still there, the plane doesn't stop spinning out of control...##Is it my controls? My general setting are on default so everything original...i have played around with the setting invert/normal... still the same result

/Window DVD Maker Quits Working - Used To Work Fine

Jun 9, 2008

For some reason my Windows DVD Maker has ceased to work when it used to work perfectly. I am able to add files to burn but when I hit next and go to where I can change the settings before burning it says that "windows dvd player has stopped working and windows is checking to see if there is a solution to the problem" I then get a message box stating "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

This program used to work just fine but stopped working and I do not get a notification of what the problem is or a code or something from Windows. I've recently updated to SP1 using Vista on an Acer 5570 laptop. I've tried changing the speed and placing the video on my desktop instead of pulling from folders but that makes no difference. I've changed file extensions, downloaded other programs to convert files to different types thinking that's what was wrong. Nothing has worked. I can view just fine using Windows Media Player so I'm not sure why I can no longer burn using this program......

Networking: Says "Local Only" But Seems To Work Fine

Feb 6, 2009

If I hover the mouse over the networking icon in the system tray on Vista computers on my FiOS network, it sometimes says "Local Only." Networking and Sharing Center shows a red X between the router and the Internet. Restarting usually shows them as properly connected to the Internet. Eventually, though (usually about 30 minutes to hours later), it will lose that and revert to Local Only. Diangnose and Repair doesn't change anything. In fact, Windows usually reports back, "Windows did not find any problems with your Internet connection." Sometimes it says that TCP settings are incompatible. I let it change them, but the Local Only problem is still there and a subsequent Diagnose and Repair then always gives the same "Windows did not find any problems..." report.

Some of those machines are laptops. I never have this problem when I bring those laptops to other networks (office wired or Wi-Fi, airport Wi-Fi, etc.). This seems to be limited to my home FiOS network. Note that as far as I can tell from using the system, it does have Internet access. Web browsing, e-mail, GoToMyPC, VPN, all seem to work fine. My main concern is that this "Local Only" report is a symptom of something more serious. If it's just a known bug in the Vista system to determine if it has Internet access, I guess I could ignore it. Is this a universal problem with FiOS? I see a lot of people seem to have issues with the Actiontec router.

Running Wireless Connection Can Not Working

Mar 7, 2010

I Am running a 64x vista os and I've installed a linksys PCI adapter into it. well the problem is that i have connection to the internet, but the connection just keeps identifying, normally i would mind, but recently i've notice that all online games lags (not like once every five minutes, almost constantly). I'm sure that the computer can cut the setting, and my connection is 10/10 mbit so ain't that either.

How Can Network With 4 Running Win 98,98se,xp And Vista

Mar 23, 2008

I have a small home network with 4 machines running Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows XP HE and Vista. There is no problem between XP and the other three machines, nor is there any problem with Vista accessing all machines (including the two 98 machines).

Both 98 machines see the Vista machine but when I try to access the Vista machine from these machines the following happens: On 98 the icon shows the Vista machine name, and when I click on this icon (expecting to get the "public" folder) I am asked for a network password to access the Vista machine - (of course) I have no such password.On 98SE the icon shows the "public" folder, and when I click on this icon the 98SE machine locks up completely. ++ reveals that the Vista machine "is not responding", and I have to terminate the process to continue operations on the 98SE.Is there any solution to these problems or must I simply give up all attempts to access the public area on the Vista machine from my Pre-XP

Network Connection Together

May 15, 2010

At my office we have 2 computers (both Vista version 6.0) networked together. I'll call them computer A and computer B. I can access, modify, and save Computer B files from computer A - I can save them directly to B or A. However, when I'm on computer B, it will only let me access files on computer A, which I then have to save to computer B if I want to save any changes I've made. I get a message saying they're read-only files and I don't have authorization to save to computer A.

User Acct Running Manually Doesn't Work

Mar 4, 2010

I have a windows Vista machine at home and I got one of those viruses that imitate the MS virus scanning tool. I logged off my acct and ran the malware tool I have and the virus scanner and cleaned everything up. But when I logged back into my user acct I could not open any icons or run any programs it seems that they are not recognizing the .exe files as valid. I get the error saying there is no program associated with this shortcut. But even when I try to run it manually it doesn't work. I can go into my other user acct and run all the programs fine. So my question is if I can't fix my user acct what do I need to do to create a new one but duplicate what I have now? I'm especially concerned about my email files, contacts etc. I can easily move my important personal files over I'm just really concerned about the mail and other programs I run now. Let me know if you need more info. BTW I do not have a valid restore point to work with. I have since created one in case I mess something else up while I try to fix this problem.

Two vista home premium computers, desktop and laptop, are connected to a private network(Netgear router). Both can use internet through router and dsl modem.

Network discovery, file sharing,public file sharing, printer sharing,media sharing are on, password protected sharing is off. Also Desktop prints to wireless printer, laptop can not. Laptop has drivers installed from disk, not over network from desktop since they do not communicate.

Loosing Network Connection

Apr 7, 2008

Periodically I lose my network connection within Vista Ultimate (only since SP1). I tether my cell phone to my laptop PC. The cellular connections remains ON using 3G network. The connection drops for maybe 45 seconds and I can hear the laptop hard drive churning away. Based on another discussion I unchecked the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) but that has not solved the issue.

No Network Connection After Wakeup

Aug 3, 2008

Using Vista Home Premium on a Levono 3000 N100 laptop. Whenever I use the Sleep or Hibernate feature, the wireless connection is disconnected whenever the laptop is awakened from Sleep or resumed from Hibernate. When awakened from Sleep or resumed from Hibernate, it shows that there is a connection briefly, then it disconnects. The ThinkVantage Access Connection (Version 4.31) will not reconnect automatically or manually. The only way I can reconnect to the Internet is to reboot the laptop. The Network Adapters are Realtek RTL 8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIV (Version 5.640.630.2006) and Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter. The Wireless Router is Netgear Rangemax WPN824NA.

Network Connection Failure

Jun 11, 2008

I am running Vista x86 Business edition andhave a rater irritating problem with the network. Every time I try to browse the Network folder from within Vista, it seems to reset that LAN connection to all machines on the network. It only seems to happen when I try to access the network though, I have not experienced this problem anywhere else. It is also worth noting that browsing the vista shares from another PC on the LAN works fine. I read up on what this guy did ( Random disconnects while browsing - Microsoft Windows Vista Community Forums - Vistaheads ) and disabled TCP/IP 6 and TCP autotuning but am still getting the problem. I have a feeling that it may be something to do with our old(ish) Belkin router; however, according to the Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool from MS, my router is all set to go with Vistas new networking features.

Windows Network Connection

Mar 28, 2008

My Desktop Windows Vista machine will not connect to the network. My router (Apple Airport Extreme) works fine and I can connect with my Macbook (macbook booting Vista) and my other Vista laptop. These connections are wireless. My desktop is wired to the router. My motherboard is an Asus Striker Extreme with two Gigabit ethernet ports. I have one disabled currently. Neither of the ports will connect to the network and they are both giving me the same type of error... making me think that this is software. Also, my PC worked fine the other day and then just began to not connect in the middle of nowhere.

Problem: Network adapters are stuck identifying network - local only. I pull Ipconfig and get that their IPv4 is set to 169.254.104.31(Preferred). Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. I also found that I have three tunnel adapters for some reason. I have tried to create static IPs with both adapters, create my own subnet with both of them, I have tried to renew IP, release IP, delete & reinstall the adapters, reboot the PC many times, take each adapter out of BIOS individually, shut one down and work on them individually, try to have Vista repair the connections to absolutely no avail.

Control Panel Home View Running Admin Did Not Work

Jan 1, 2010

I have the following problem: My Control Panel keeps using the Classic View instead of the Control Panel Home view. I checked the tutorial about this subject: I tried the second way (Through the Registry: Through a Download), as i have Vista Home Premium, but when I right-click the Restore_Default_CP_View, it doesn't show Merge (actually, I'm not sure, because I don't have an enlish version...). The other way (The Manual Way) doesn't work either, because I don't have the file HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer. When I click Policies, it only shows one more folder, called system. The Explorer file doesn't seem to be there. I tried running as administrator, but that didn't work either.

Network: Unable To Restore Any Connection

Dec 13, 2009

I am currently running Vista home on my main PC. I have a router plugged into it. The router is working fine (my son's laptop accesses wirelessly, and I am able to hit the net using a virtual PC that I have set up on it.) However, my main computer is not recognizing the router and is returning an APIPA address when I run ipconfig. I have tried to ping the router but am not able to hit it. I have replaced the cable (even though I do not think that is the issue as I am able to access via the virtual PC). I am unable to restore any connection.

WiFi Network Connection Dropping

Oct 20, 2009

My home is such that all my broadband to myPCs has to be wireless (the only place they could connect the cable was in an obscure, upstairs bedroom). In general this has worked just fine. I have 3 PCs currently connected to the network, One desktop and a laptop running XP and my new laptop running Vista (new is relative, I've been having this problem since January 2009 when I got the Vista laptop).

The two XP machines connect to the network just fine. Occasionally, when I work on the desktop, I'd see a notification icon that it has connected to the network, but in general I have no interruptions to my network connections. The Vista machine (Vista Ultimate, SP 2) is a nightmare. the WiFI connection keeps dropping. Additionally, often it would report that the network is connected, but in reality, nothing is reachable and I have to disconnect/connect to the network before any Internet site is reachable......

Network Connection: Occasionally Not Connect

Mar 23, 2008

I got a new computer which I successfully connected to my home network. However, occasionally it does not connect. If I restart the computer and reset the router it works fine, but in a few days it crops up again. The technique I am using at the moment works fine, but gets a bit wearing. Is there a solution to this short of hibernating the computer instead of shutting it down.

Virtual PC 2007, Network Connection In The VM

Jun 1, 2008

I have a strange little quirk I ran into that maybe one of you may know something about with Virtual PC 2007 SP1. I have Vista 64 bit Ultimate w/SP1 installed as the host computer. If I use the 32 bit Vista Ultimate as a Virtual Machine (VM), I have no problems with the network connection or anything else in the VM. If I use the 32 bit Vista Home Premium as a VM, everything works fine except the network connection in the VM. The settings are the same on both.

I wanted to use Home Premium since it is the only one that I have a spare product key number for. Does anyone know of a reason why the network connection will not work with the Home Premium edition over the Ultimate with the exact same VM settings? I hope it's not simply because I have Ultimate installed as the host.
