| | Cant connect to wireless internet I can connect to my wireless network at home but I can't access wifi in public places. It shows local connectivity only and I can't access the internet. At one venue with an open network I could access the internet OK but now it is local only. Someone suggested uncheck IPv6 in Connection properties - could it be this simple? If not what do I do? |

| | Re: Cant connect to wireless internet I have had wireless "local only" problems with no internet. I changed to McAfee from Norton and Windows Vista fixed the problem. In my case the setting went from Public to Private, and I was on the net. Vista doesn't seem to trust public connections. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > It could be the compatible issue.

| | Re: Cant connect to wireless internet i upgraded my laptop to Vista in june or so, and could wirelessly connect to the internet with no problem until about 2 months ago, and since then, all i get is a "local only" connection to my network. however, even when i plugged my dsl straight from the modem into my laptop, i still cannot access the internet, though it says i am connected. i have tried everything i could think of, includeing another wireless adapter and plugging directly in to the router, and would have already reinstalled the operating system except i lost the sticker with my product key on it. if you could help me out or know a way to recover my product key so i can try a fresh install, it would be apreciated.
