Uneal; this worked. I'm hoping I'm not jumping the gun but I disabled, powered down computer, pulled power cord, restarted and now it is recoginizing my connection and I'm able to get online. I also have IPv6 disabled and have changed my power management settings.

Thank you!

running the command "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
" seems to have fixed my issue, bit early to be sure.

if you try it, you can always change back with the command
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal"

googling vista autotuning brings up many other issues with this feature, so maybe worth turning off anyway.

1. This is the info from my mac (which connect fine to both modem and router):
IP 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DNS nameserver 68.94.156.1
nameserver 68.94.157.1

2. I have tried multiple times connecting PC directly to the modem and it has no effect on this issue. I am only able to get a 169.xxx IP address on the Vista machine

3. Last week yes, it was running Vista and had no connectivity issues. This is a new machine that came loaded with Vista and has been running wihout problems for 4 months. Last Tuesday night it hibernated, and in the morning when started would not connect.

4. I have tried to do them both automatically and manually, using the IP info from the macs and am still unable to connect.

HP and SBC are fresh out of ideas and each is blaming the other for the problem. I am getting very frustrated and don't know of any other fixes or work-arounds. I appreciate any help/ideas.

Thanks,

Questions:

1. When you go over to the Macs, what IP do you get when you do an IPCONFIG? Can you try hardcoding a similar IP on the HP machine?

2. Can you connect the pc directly to the modem using a wire? Does that work? If it works, that means it something with the router. If it doesn't, I think that means you have some …

Hey guys. I just registered to reply to this thread.

I am having the same issue with my HP desktop running Vista Premiere. I have Local Access only using wired ethernet connection. I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with both my ISP and HP and still no resolution. I know it is not my modem or router, as I am able to connect my 2 Mac laptops both wirelessly and directly to the modem and/or router.

From command prompt, I am unable to renew ip config, it times out, unable to reach DHCP server.

I have reset both modem and router. I have unistalled/reinstalled network card drivers. I have completed a full system restore, taking machine back to factory specs. I have disabled IPv6. My antivirus and firewall are disabled.

I am at a complete loss on what to do at this point. The most frustrating thing is that this machine was previously working and connected to the internet a week ago. Mysteriously overnight it developed this problem.

Any suggestions at this point?

Thanks
