Vista Local Access Only Problem
 |
I had similar issues. I went to CMD prompt and did a winsock reset, and it corrected my issues for temporarily. I also had a wireless connection, that would constantly go local. I moved the computer closer to my router and went copper. Now, when I am on the network, some applications such as ZUNE says I am not online. IE sometimes also tells me I am offline, retry or stay offline. I say retry and it opens my web page. I finally completely removed my wireless card, and again did a winsock reset and still had issues. I ended up reloading VISTA and in the process found a vista driver for my VIA GigabitEthernet controller and so far, it looks like things are working ok, though it could just be that re-installing the driver did it. Vista Networking has some bugs me thinks.
I am at a stand still myself on this matter.
Back on page 6, another user pointed out all of the things that you can do to TRY to get back online... This issue start back on the FEB build of MS Vista and MS is still working with it.
I eventually gave up and just returned my notebook to the place I bought it from since it became a $2k paperweight. I have searched for the last week dozens of forums and no one has found a perfect fix for this except for cross your fingers and hope that MS comes out with a fix on their SP1.
Its all a crap shoot. you can try static IP, you can disable IP6v, you can try entering your DNS, you can disable your DHCP broadcast, you can update your drivers, you can restore your computer, you can uninstall/reinstall stuff. Basically what it comes down to is that there is no guranteed fix for any of this. My notebook would come back online local and internet after being in local only for hours for no apparent reason and then just drop off and back into local only for no reason and there was no certain way to get it back online. This goes for both the Wireless and the normal Cat5 wired. Although with it being plugged in to CAT5 i did have more success at it being online after reboots but only 25% of the time.
I talked to several computer dealers in town today and they all agreed its a craps shoot for Vista and wireless networking and have been unable to repair alot of the computers that they are seeing. So if you get a chance get a dual XP/Vista machine or just stay XP til MS resolves this issue.
Keep posting folks on if you get any suggestions that work for you.

Well, not sure of the reliability of this, but I called netgear after another forum said the saw this problem when the routers were gone bad, and they said they have seen this alot, and its the router. For me its all my network devics that are effected but the Netgear tech said that when I told him my router came from Fry's electronics that for some reason they had seen alot of problems with the boxes from Frys. They are sending me a new Wnr854 router so we shall see.
Hi all,
I just bought a Toshiba laptop, took it to work and all and even though my wireless connection at home works, i just could not get it to work once i got to work, i searched the net and all like all y'all, still nothing, i even connected to a 10/100 ethernet cable, nada! I got it to work though on the dumbest stuff ever:
I went to Network and Sharing Center, saw the option for Internet Options, i then went to Connections, LAN Settings and the Automatically Detect Settings was unchecked. After checking it i was able to get online? Could it be that Vista engineers forgot to have it checked by default? Anyway check it and see if that works for you.

It's almost 3am and after a good 5 hours of trying to sort this exact problem out on my LG Vista laptop, it finally works. Thanks for the advice!

Thats what worked for my after a week of trying everything else. Hopefully it works for you.
Found the issue on my AR350E to be network discovery.. turned it off and everything is working smoot now even after restarts... can't see other computers on my network but its worth it up and working

I have a Vista PC with an ASUS P5B-MX/WiFi-AP Motherboard with built in wireless. I am using it in Access Point (AP) mode. I have the modem plugged in to this computer.
I can get on the internet on this Vista PC.
I can connect to this Vista PC network from an XP PC (with signal strength=excellent) but the XP PC cannot access the internet.
I am using Virgin Broadband.

your solution worked for me--at least for now--thanks for being there
I am using a brand new toshiba a135 laptop with Vista Basic installed. Ok, I have been having the same problem with Vista wireless as many other people. I have been looking throughout the forums for and answer all to no avail. Please help. I was able to connect on my home networks wireless but now at the free public wifi I keep getting "connected" but with local only access. My brothers windows vista laptop connects to the same network just fine-with both local and internet access. I also often get Unnamed networks but i don't know if thats related. What I really want is to get connected via wifi. Thanks in advance. Here is my ipconfig /all info:

Well in my previous post I put that turning off network discovery helped but it was a temp fix 
but for the last week i have been trying different things. I have DHCP Broadcast turned off. Whats ironic is that it does not matter if it is on or off but switching between the 2 and then waiting for up to 2 min will force the computer to go online. Its odd... So when i go somewhere like starbucks or the airport and i see local only again i just go to my regedit and change the 0/1 dhcp broadcast around and exit and usually within 30 seconds it hops online. I also bring up firefox browser to force the network to search for an outside connection but not sure if that helps or not.
I just can not wait til SP1 comes out. This is an ongoing issue that not even MS has fixes for because its so intermittent.
