It worked once for a few hours but then just decided to stop. When I plug in my ethernet cable, my internet works just fine. But when I try to connect via wireless it says im connected but with Local Access only. It also shows that im connected to multiple networks when I plug in my ethernet cable and turn on my wireless router. It wont connect to the internet or anything. I've tried everything from restarting and power cycling the router and modem to renewing the IP address. The automatic diagnose and repair option does nothing for me. My cousin who has XP on his laptop is able to connect using my wireless signal and even my PSP can connect to the internet using the same signal. Can anyone pleassssseee help me??? Ive been reading all sorts of forums and am about to throw my computer accross the room. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
What worked for me was going into the wireless connection properties, disabling IPv6, and instead using IPv4, & setting a DNS. For some odd reason IPv6 on vista seems to be quite a headache to a lot of people (my crap-o netgear router included). Hope this works for you.
