Vista - Loss of Network/Internet Connectivity

This may not be the exactly appropriate group for my problem and I
apologize.
Please redirect, if necessary, otherwise I have the following problem:
Inadvertently I lost my internet connecticity while sending an email with
Vista's built-in. It worked flawlessly for several days (7?) and with no
apparent fault of mine the connection was abruptly severed, leaving the last
open box from the email and a sound when I clicked on anything in that box.
When I shut down and started again, I received this message, amongst others:
Component GUID: {7071ECA3-663B-4BC1-AIFA-B97F3B917C55}
Component file: [C:\Windows\system32\connect.dll
Error: (0x8007277B) <The error message could not be found>

Additional info:
Failed to detect Internet connectivity.

The PC in question is a Dell Inspiron with WinVista and McAfee Security
Center preinstalled. This message originates from my back-up PC with WinME.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Harry.

news:%23N95I0ebJHA.3952@xxxxxxHarry, go to microsoft.public.networking.wireless. I think they would know
how to solve that kind of a problem. That would probably be your best bet.
good luck

2. Run the following commands pressing Enter after each one.

Hi. I have the same problem. Felipe, should I do your instructions in the OS with the internet problem?

My desktop originally has vista and I've installed xp. My vista can connect to the internet but my xp can't.

Sleepy,

I just heard reports of this problem for Windows Vista, but if the same
error message, it is worth trying to run this procedure, but the commands are
slightly different for Windows XP.

PS: Make a point of resturação before performing the procedures below.

- Click Start | Run | Type CMD
- To open the command prompt, run the following command line:
netsh int ip reset c: \ ip.log
netsh winsock reset
- Restart the computer.

Felipe,

Thanks for the response. Actually, in my XP, I only have the 1394 Network Connection in my Network Connections Folder. I don't have the local area connection icon. I'm not even getting any errors. Do you know how to handle this part?

Thanks!
Sleepy

Hi,

Now I understand your problem. Already solved a problem thus registering the
dlls for the Windows network.

In the command prompt, run the following command:
regsvr32 Netshell.dll
regsvr32 netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 Netman.dll

If the above procedure does not work you can try removing all network
adapters in Device Manager and reinstall the driver for your network card.
