Network Connectivity Name Server Access
Mar 23, 2008
We have a Dell with Vista running on it. we connected it to the university network and are not able to get any browser to find any web site. I open a command line and do a ping both with ip address numbers and via name and ping works fine so there is network connectivity and name server access. I can't find any answer to why the browser will not work. I have tried the microsoft browser and mozilla neither will work. Does any one have any ideas? I am a nubie to Vista. but pretty well versed in 2000 and XP.

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.

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.

Have a small network consisting of one Win XP Media Center Ed. and one Vista home premium (and an Internet router). The Vista crashed and was restored to factory and apps reinstalled, etc. Each computer has dedicated IP address, and each runs a version of Norton Internet Security. They are in the same workgroup. Prior to the Vista problem, all was generall well. Now, the XP seems to lose network connectivity to the Vista computer when the computers are turned on in the morning. This is important for many reasons, including that the XP uses a printer attached to the Vista for most of the XP's printing needs.
I have set up a user on Vista that matches the user on XP, and have set the NIS on Vista to allow all connections to the IP of the XP box. And all is well until that reboot. There may be more to that, but in the few days the rebuilt Vista has been up, that has been the story. I have been able to restore the connection by launching Network Places, and searching for the name of the Vista computer. It so far does not show up in the network view until I do a manual search using the computer name. Then when it comes up and I double-click on the Vista C: drive, I'm prompted for login info, which I give and then I get connected (why is this not automatically done for me?). I've also mapped a drive to the Vista and set that for "reconnect at login."

Our Vista laptops (& my Xbox) access our basic Windows Home Server system through a Netgear router. It's all fine, but I want to (easily & quickly!) restrict & control when some laptops can access the internet while allowing free access to the server. (For instance, so children's internet access can be monitored but they can always get to photos & backups, etc. on the server.)

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.

I think I might have a good one for you.. I am working on an Acer 5610z Notebook for a friend of mine. He was setting the parental controls and managed to control his account which had admin access. the user listing has the account listing as an admin but he only has standard user access. His was the "only" admin account.. While he was doing this he managed to deny access to the boot drive. The drive reads as "Access Denied". The machine boots up and a person can play games etc.. but network access is restricted.

Up until this week my PO3 access on one of my WM accounts has been perfect, but now message download has slowed to less than a crawl. Current config:
TCP Global Parameters
----------------------------------------------
Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled
Chimney Offload State : enabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : normal
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : ctcp
ECN Capability : disabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled
I have tried disabling auto-tuning and have also used 'highlyrestricted' but this seems to make no difference. Net access for everything else is fine.

Im not really much of a computer wizzkid so pardon me if im not making much sense. I went into tools>account>default mail account>servers tab> My problem started then. Stupidly i changed my password thinking that i would be able to set it to open up and ask me for one when i tried to access my mail. My reaon for this was so others wouldnt be able to see my mail as i constantly forget to lock my laptop when im away from it.
Anyway i clicked apply and close. then i pressed send/recieve to checkif i had any new mail come in. A popup appeared asking for my username and password so i inouted the password that i had just changed. This is not working for me. And i do not know the old password to change back.

But all of the PC & servers (include email & filer server) can access file server share folders. Could you tell me which setting in server is wrong that cause this problem?

My Windows Mail was activated through my previous web host in Portugal, but I changed to a new web host on 1st June and I no longer have access to Windows Mail. I would like to still use it. I am using cvtelecom.cv in Cape Verde. I have an alternate mail system with the new host but would prefer to use Windows Mail. What info do I need and from whom? I wish to reactivate the account and email address I was using up.

I have been using Sophos for a number of years. I recently have not been able to get it to auto update. When I dug into it a bit, I found I couldn't access the update server from a web browser. In fact, I can't even reach the main Sophos site. I can't believe they are down. I can reach many other web sites I've tried, including this one. Could I have something messed up in my settings somewhere that would prevent access to this one web site? I am using Sophos 7.6.16 Antivirus as well as Sophos firewall 1.5.4 R2

I'm connected to a public network at a hospital where my husband is, and I can't send emails. I get these messages: The connection to the server has failed.
Subject 'Re: Tennis', Account: 'gccn', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E AND Account: 'gccn', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization not enabled', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
I know it has something to do with authentification or authorization and have tried lots of different settings, but I can't seem to fix it.

When attempting to download my folders from imap.googlemail.com I get the following message: Your imap command could not be sent to server due to non-network errors. This could for example indicate a lack of memory on your system. What, if anything, can I do? I really would like to get this Windows Mail working

The problem is this: the file server will randomly seem to crash (hang) the network when the other machines are accessing it. This is more noticable with the XP machines, where the hang will cause explorer to crash, whereas the Vista machines accessing it will simply not connect. Occasionally the file server appears to reconnect after an hour or so, but mostly it will require a restart to get it back on the network and functioning correctly. I have had a look around at various forums, including this one, but have not seen this exact problem. I have tried solutions for other related problems, such as disabling IPv6, but this does still not seem to have solved the problem. Any ideas would be most welcome - obviously having to restart all the machines in the office a couple of times a day can be a bit of a pain!

Where I live, the only newsgroup which I can access is on Microsoft's server; no other newsgroups are offered thru any ISPs (because of POLITIKAL considerations). I know that Google offers browser-based newsgroup review and posting, but its interface is far from the convenience of a traditional newsreader such as Windows Mail, Outlook Express etc. Does anyone know of a way to get around this and access a server by a something like Windows Mail?

I recently upgraded a few of my systems to various versions of windows vista and I have run into an issue that is a bit hindering with regards to my media center. I upgraded my file server to Vista Ultimate and I upgraded my HTPC to Vista Home Premium. I'd like to add the media file folders from the file server to the video list on my htpc, the problem is, after i have added the folders to be watched on the file server they do not show up in the list after a reboot; unless i go into the network and actively log into the file server.
There is no password required, so all i need to do is to type anything in the username field and hit enter, then go back and refresh the videos list and the folders appear. The problem with this is each time i power on the htpc i need the mouse and keyboard which clutter up the living room. Id much rather have them both unplugged 99% of the time and as it stands now, this network login is the only thing i have used them for since i completed the configuration. It alsomakes it a bit confusing for my girlfriend (to the point where she just wont bother using it unless im home)

First let me start by saying I'm not extremely knowledgable about PCs. Basically here is my problem: I am trying to play an online game and can't seem to connect to their server through their access program. They advise me to run a tracert on the first hop I get:1 * * * request timed out the other 14 hops go through fine. The game company says it's my ISP and my ISP says it's probably on my end, something to do with Vista. I am running straight from my PC to a motorola surfboard 5101 cable modem no router or anything. Any ideas on why my IP would be timing out?

I have a problem trying to Map an XP drive on my Vista Home Basic Laptop that is proving a nightmare: We have several computers on our netwrok, including the XP server itself where we have our shared documents. (place where all shared files go that we want other users to see) I have mapped the same shared docs folder accross all of out XP machines. Plugged my Vista Home Basic Laptop into our network, couldnt map the shared docs folder on my server. After reading many how to's, i followed this guide: Microsoft Corporation I have downloaded and installed the LLTD responder on the server with XP All computers were restarted, now when looking on the laptops "Veiw full map" I can see FILE_STORAGE (our server) but the guide above says right click on the computer running XP, however when I do this nothing happens, it is a solid icon and clicking it does nothing.
All computers including the laptop are on the same workgroup The laptop has appeared when looking on the XP machine under viewing the network I have opened ports UDP: 137, 138, 1900 and TCP 21, 139, 445 2869 We have AVG Antivirus and Firewall on all machines including the laptop. AVG does not allow you to open ports, so the above ports were opened on my router. When I plugged the laptop into the network AVG asked me to select a profile, I selected ALLOW ALL for the time being as "Computer In Domain" was not there to select. The vista laptop has Network Disc. ON, File Sharing ON, Public Folder Sharing ON and Printer Sharing ON One thing I couldnt get my head round was the differance between Workgroup and Network. The workgroup is the same on all computers, but I wasnt aware that I had ever given a "Network" name on any of the XP machine. Vista did ask for a "Network" name. For safety i put the same name as is in the workgroup. Anyone any ideas, im desperate?

I'm trying to start a local tftp server session using SolarWinds or WinAgents TFTP Server Manger. However I keep getting the following messages: "WinAgents TFTP Server can not bind to UDP port 69 on one of local network interfaces. Probably, the port is used by other application. Please stop other software running on UDP port 69 and restart WinAgenst TFTP Server" or "SolarWinds UPD port 69 is currently used by another process: TftpService" When I tried to identify the program using UDP port 69 using the netstat -anb command I can't find anything that indicates that this port is in use. Has anybody encountered this problem I neee to use TFTP to copy an IOS from my laptop to a Cisco 2600 router.

How do I connect my Vista Windows mail client to a mailbox on my SBS 2003 server? Exchange used to be an account type in Outlook Express, but appears not to be in Win Mail. But the Exchange server provides a POP3 mailbox to clients, I have an extra available, it would be nice if I could use it. The only reason that I would like to is because the Brother scanner application brings up Win Mail when it scans to email, even though I have set Outlook to be the default program for the .msg file type. If you know how to disable Win Mail, and let Outlook take the call, that
would work as well as connecting it to Exchange.

what I've done so far: My work has 4 public internet access computers. What I have done was set each of these to be a "Public Network", and have enforced the requirement to enter a password on UAC so that the public users cannot make unauthorized changes to the settings. Now, however, it is still possible to access other computers on the network, if you know the name of the computer youwant to access. What I want is this: Is there away in Vista to TOTALLY disable all network access while still maintaining Internet Connectivity? These are the only Vista machines on the network. All other machines are XP.

i just got a new PC last friday with 64bit vista ultimate and i have been having alot of problems with hooking it up to my home network. At first, i would plug it in and it would only let me get into "local area connection" local access only. I did a repair install which got rid of all updates that the company had put on, so its a fresh SP1 install. Now i can sometimes get it to connect to the internet, but the speed is ridiculously slow, like if i look at the antivirus updaters for speed (i cant access speedtest.net cuz it says i dont have flash or w.e. and it wont let me download it cuz the site wont load) i get max speeds of...4 kb/s.

I have vista on desktop with router and am trying to network (wireless) with another desktop running xp. The network connections are good / router recognizes both computers. Internet connection functional on both computers. The vista computer will only "see" the xp intermitently. When it is available, I tried to map the xp drive from vista to no avail. Error message said the computer name was incorrect although it was correct. Both computers are in same workgroup.
