Local access only, please help!

rikkar · May 29, 2009

Ok, this is my last resort after spending hours digging through forums finding nothing that works for my situation. Out of nowhere, my internet connection has been cut off. I am connected to my university's network via Ethernet cable, IPv4 says "Local", IPv6 says "Limited", a ping to 4.2.2.2 returns "request timed out" which means I am not connecting to the DNS server. All my setting are the same as a friends computer, connected the exact same way. Drivers are updated, tried uninstalling the network controller and reinstalling it, nothing works. I have tried every command line I have come across, disabled IPv6 through a registry edit, and yet it still refuses to connect. Please, if someone can help me before I throw my custom built baby out my third floor window, I would be VERY grateful. If you need more info, let me know. Here's what returns after ipconfig /all, since that is usually the first thing people ask for:

C:\USERS\JOEY>ipconfig /all

---this may be an uneducated guess from me, but your list says:
---[Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Friday, May 29, 2009 9:23:46 PM]

Dunno if this will help you but I was experiencing the same issues with my nforce and how I got it to eventually work is to uninstall the network port from the mb then let vista load default drivers upon reboot. Has worked since- I too loaded the latest drivers from my mb maker but that's when the trouble started and after a week or 2 of frustration this worked for me. As long as its working I'm not gonna touch a thing! Good luck as I too could not find any answers.

rikkar · May 30, 2009

bdeyes, I'm curious how you uninstalled the nforce network port from you motherboard. I tried uninstalling from Device Manager and rebooting, but that didn't seem to work. Any other suggestions from anyone??

bdeyes · May 30, 2009

Thats all I did from device manager- uninstalled both of them and rebooted. Worked for me, dunno what else to say but good luck and if you do after all find a solution please post it as others may eventually need your solution!

Boot your computer into safe mode with networking and then try to go online.
Also, open cmd.exe and type ping 10.4.0.1 and press ENTER.
Let us know what's the packets (sent, received and lost) status.

rikkar · May 30, 2009

Well, after leaving my computer off for the last 11 hours I now have internet. Maybe something I did worked, I really don't know what happened. Thanks for the help guys, maybe this thread will help someone else in the future!

dinesh · May 30, 2009

If you haven't made any changes to your computer, probably it was some issue with your ISP. Glad to hear that its working now.

garysgold · May 30, 2009

Hello rikkar,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Glad it's working for you again. If you have any more problems, you know where to find us.

Glad to hear success- hopefully it doesn't return as mine was good for a time and then back to the problem!

we have the same situation. After I upgraded to the latest nVidia nForce Management Controller, I can't access the internet. It says, local access only

What specific drivers did u uninstall? bcos i tried uninstalling the nvidia nforce, but to no avail

dinesh · Jun 22, 2009

Hi jehlau, go to safe mode with networking and see if you are able to go online. Also, try pinging the default gateway from command prompt. Eg: Open cmd.exe and type ping <default gateway>. See if its able to send and receive packets.

your security software(firewall) is blocking your internet connection. Uninstall your antivirus or firewall. Your internet will start working. Then reinstall the AV.
