I am having a similar issue so thought I would add a post and see if
anyone can assist.
My internet has been working fine until 2 days ago when it suddenly
stopped working. I am using Vista and direct ethernet connection from
laptop to modem.
I have called the ISP (Comcast) and they have checked all the settings
on my computer. The network connection is working properly, as I am
able to connect to internet from another computer with XP installed.
However, the two computers I have with Vista don't work, both getting an
error 815 message.
ISP suggested I call Microsoft, as they have a note that this is a
Vista patch issue, however Microsoft won't provide tech assistance until
I have called the manufacturer. Both versions of Vista are OEM copies,
but the manufacturers are different.
The laptop works fine using a different cable connection, I have tried
resetting the modem, powering off everything, changing registry
settings, deleting and re-adding the Broadband PPPoE network setting,
and accessing the modem to add MAC addresses (but can't get in using
10.1.1.1 or 192.168.254.254).
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
