Re: vista 32 and vista x64

Need more information - did you install the drivers for all your hardware (like your NIC) in Vista x64? What devices, if any, show as not working in Device Manager in X64?

Re: vista 32 and vista x64

OK, just to double check:

  • 1 computer
  • 2 different Vista installations (32bit on one HD / partition and 64bit on another)
  • Boot into 32bit, Internet connection works
  • Boot into 64bit and it does not.
If I have this right, then we need to make sure all your settings for the NICs are the same in both OSs....

Re: vista 32 and vista x64

Since they are both Vista, basically the same way - right click the network icon in the system tray and select "Network and Sharing Center.

You should see something like the following (you may only see one network entry and one NIC entry):

Then just click on View Status link beside your NIC.

It works the same way in both installs.

I guarantee you ask around here and more people will say *no* problems with internet connectivity than not - but it is your choice.
