Connect to network but not internet

Hi

We bought a new dlink Gigabyte unmanaged switch,installed it and now the vista machines connects fine to the network but not to the internet. if i go ipconfig /release and /renew it works for a bit but then goes down again. The Windows XP machines are working perfect to the network and internet.

What Can cause this problem with vista.

Thanks

I don't really know but one thought is are they being allowed through the firewall. ?

Yes. It was working fine when they where on the 10/100 switch. It only happened after I changed the switch to 10/100/1000. It is a unmananged switch so it does not need configuring

I'd swear it sounds like your gateway or some other IP setting was wrong... if you're certain it's correct, my next guess would be Jumbo frames - which can bewilder some routers.

Are Jumbo frames on/off?

May not work for everyone, but I had the problem of connection to the network (over ethernet) but no internet connectivity on a brand new box I built for my son.

Setting a static IP on the offending machine did the trick.
