You might try going to the settings and removing the IPV6 protocol, and
set the thing to use DHCP if it isn't already doing so. Then your IP and
DNS server settings should be resolved automatically. Contrary to what
the "Fanboys" will tell you this does seem to be more common with Vista
than with other systems, which does NOT mean the problem is necessarily
caused by Vista, only that they refuse to acknowledge it and therefore
assume you are stupid

Seems to me like IPV6 is not working right in
some circumstances - it may be that Vista is doing it right and other
equipment is not - either way if it does not work it's no use to you.

Have you tried release/renew your IP?

Start menu<type in cmd in the start search press enter
Command window pops up type in ipconfig press enter
type in ipconfig/release press enter
type in ipconfig/renew press enter

Works everytime for me.
