Vista - Vista Networking Issue

Hi Guys,

Interested to hear what you guys suggest for this problem.

I had a PC running Vista. I connect to the internet via a Ethernet
Cable that runs out the back of my PC to a dish on my roof with Client
Premise Equipment (Wireless) - this goes to a router miles away. No
driver required.

My computer is setup with a static IP, DNS, Gateway etc.

Now I am dual booting Vista. I have setup the ethernet adapter with
the same settings when in Vista, but I have no Internet.

It shows a valid network, but just not a connection to the internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

-Al

What happens if you ping your Gateway address? How about the DNS address?
