Hello,
I recently formatted, then installed vista home basic 32bit on my Mom's computer as well as a supposedly vista compatible modem. No software has been loaded on except for necessary drivers and MSoffice 2007 (no virus protection or other firewalls). I am able to connect to the university modem pool, but I am unable to get on to the internet. I have the yellow exclamation mark triangle for limited connectivity. I tried pinging some websites but they could not be found. I can only ping the server I have connected to and 4.2.2.2.
I've installed all the latest drivers by copying them from another computer via CD. The only thing I have been unable to do was install SP1, perhaps because I was not doing it through automatic update. Loading it from a CD caused my computer to start hanging during the boot up so I had to do a restore. Oh and also I haven't authenticated vista yet cause i wanted to do it over the internet.
Some of the things I've tried:
Unchecking the IPv6 from the networking tab
Disabling windows firewall and defender
Attempting to use manually assigned IP
Here's ipconfig:
Windows IP Configuration
PPP adapter Modem Pool:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 140.160.236.27
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 6:

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Here's the specs:
Vista 32bit home basic
Nexxtech 56K PCI modem, V.92
ABIT MB KX7 333R
AMD 1800+
1.5gigs kingston RAM
40gig WDC HD
Any help would greatly appreciated. My mom really can't afford to not have her modem working any more
Thanks
