| | Unidentified network with Windows Vista - solved in SP1? I have a functioning XP network with Zyxel 335 router. 3 wireless and 1 wired connection. Works OK. Installed a new computer with windows vista wired (old USB wireless driver didn´t work with Vista). Only local access to unidentified network. IP-adress 169.... and not 192.168.1.34 which the router says it should have. When I changed to the same network name all computers could see each other but later the Vista computer was missing. It´s very confusing. What should I do? My son wants to reach the internet from his computer and we want to share his printer. I´ve tried support from my ISP and router. ISP wont help -says it´s problem with Vista..Zyxel says it will be solved in Vista SP1. Does anybody know if this is the case and when is that released? |

| | Re: Unidentified network with Windows Vista - solved in SP1? Thanks! Now I can see the other XP-computers on the network and reach the internet from my Vista. To change to static IP-adress I had to go to another XP-computer and run IPCONFIG /ALL to se what the netmask, gateway and DNS-server adresses were. The IP-adress I found on the router. Previously I had uncehecked the IPv6 so I don´t know if that was necessay or not. /Monika "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > IP 169.254.x.x is compatible issue. SP1 may not fix all this issue.
