| | Vista DHCP internet connection issue Having problems connecting Vista PC to internet via ethernet connection. Connection is via Netgear DG834N router. Using Vista Home Premium with SP1 and router has latest firmware. Able to connect to internet via ethernet on Win XP laptop and via wireless connection on Vista PC, but receiving IP 169.254.xxx.xxx from router on ethernet connection. Have tried combination of static IP, but to no avail. Also tried fixes on kb 928233 on IP address from non-microsoft DHCP servers, but no cure. Have also tried disabling ipv6. Now not sure what registry settings I should be using. At wits end, please help. |

| | Re: Vista DHCP internet connection issue Hi I assume that the computer in question is the one that its Wireless work OK with the Router. If so, make sure that you have a good cable between the computer and the Router and try to disable temporarily the Wireless card. See if it works when only the wired connection is On.
