| | "Local access only"!! Hi, I tried post on maintenance etc but got no advice  Any ideas as to why I suddenly have this need to keep resetting the network adapter via network sharing? (I am sure its associated here) I have just changed ISP and their supplied router is both wireless and Ethernet. My previous was Ethernet only. I only use Ethernet at the moment but network sharing keeps identifying two networks. I cant merge or delete as that option is greyed out!! Any help advice gratefully accepted  Stuart. |

Noticed another thread below- - - sorry for duplicating. I seem to have solved it to some degree. Reduced speed on adapter to 10mbs! Dont know what effects that will have elsewhere though? Stuart. |

| | Re: "Local access only"!! I use a new router (supplied by ISP) which has dual capability in that it operates in either wireless or cable Ethernet mode. I use Ethernet as I did with older router and it may generate some confusion for vista. Not sure how though. There are some references to vista incidents of "two networks" detected and also "local Access only". But they don't seem very clear. I tried one suggestion which is to reduce the speed of the adapter but its not a satisfactory one to my mind and I continue to try identifying other forms of advice/help to cure the problem so as to get back to where I was before I changed ISP and router . |
