I apologize in advance. I have scrolled through pages and pages of posts here and tried to find my solution. I must repost this issue for me.
I had this issue after building my rig and it miraculously fixed itself one day when I powered the computer on.
It worked for a few months.
Then I inadvertantly put my computer into hibernation or sleep, instead of powering it off, like I normally do.
Well, Vista didn't like that.
So now I am offline again.
Parts:
Vista Home Premium x64
linksys wireless g router. wrt54gs
cable modem.
asus extreme gamer mobo with dual nividia NIC on board.
most current drivers for everything.
most current firmware for router.
restarted everything a billion times.
unpluged, replugged, etc. too.
uninstalled NIC/reinstalled
let it assign a driver too.
dhcp is disabled
public or private, network is a no go.
auto config or keyed in ip info, no go.
disabled ipv6, no help
No matter what I get the same result:
unidentified network
access: local only
ipconfig shows media state, disconnected for moste everything.
cannot ipconfig renew, as it says that nothing is in the right status to do this.
cannot ipconfig release as it encounters an error.
typed in vista explode, stupid vista wont even do that.
I have a copy of xp pro x64. I am seriously doing my best to avoid installing it, because I would like vista to work, but This is the second time I am encountering no internet with vista.
I have plugged it directly to the modem, still has the exact same issue so the router is not involved with the issue.
It can only be:
1. a settings issue
2. a NIC issue
3. a Vista issue
I can't remember how to copy out of a cmd box to get my ipconfig on here.
any suggestions on what to try?
