Vista - Suddenly no web access

Hi.

Here is the issue i'm having. I have been using Vista x64 for more than 3 months with (almost) no problems, but suddenly, i lost web access. I'm connected through D-Link ethernet router, my sister's machine running XP is connected to this router too. There's no problem connecting to the web from her machine, just from mine in x64 Vista ultimate.

I can connect to my sister's XP with no problem, browsing resources etc. So the router is ok. But there is something that cought my eye. Normally apps that try to connect to web will give an error if they don't have access. But Firefox and Thunderbird will just freeze with empty white window, but the application is still responsive. IE7 on the other hand is giving me this normal no connection error. What's really strange is the fact that i can't even connect to my router's config. My router's adress is 10.0.0.138. When i try to connect to this adress, i'm giving the same result as with any other adress. But it works flawlessly from my sister's comp.

AND - all applications trying to access web will crash when i close them. Crash. I don't get it. Right now i'm trying various things. NOD32 scan didn't reveal anything. All connection settings seem to be normal. As i said, it started suddenly with no system changes, at least not from my side.

BTW, i'm using onboard intel Gigabit NIC, can't recall exact model right now.

Thx for the info, MaraST.

This post may help,

Sorry for the minimum information, here's the situation:

Yesterday I installed some Vista Ultimate Extra's (Hold'm, Dreamscene and a Display driver for my Samsung 225). At night I shut the computer down and when I started up this morning I was unable to browse the web.

Firefox gave me a blank screen and when I wanted to close the application windows told me that the application has stopped responding and it needed to be closed.
Internet Explorer 7 opend but gave me a screen saying that it can not display the webpage. When I close IE windows also told me that the program stopped responding.

Repairing the connection didn't do any good. Also connecting through wireless hasn't resolved anything. XP laptop next to my desktop connects normally.

2 months ago I had the same problem but then with Vista Business x64 wich I had from MSDN. I tried installing the SP1 Beta but due to the dutch language it was unable to install. The only thing that resolved the issue was reinstalling Vista, but now I purchased Ultimate x64.

Meanwhile I looked at the other forum that was available again (there where database connections issues earlier.) and already scanned for spyware with windows defender and nod32. Nothing was found.

My only option now is a fix from Microsoft wich I got emailed because it was not publicly available. I have not tried it yet but will in a moment. The fix is actually for a different problem: After you configure Internet Connection Sharing in Windows Vista, the network connection stops working after one-to-two hours

If anybody has a different sollution please reply.
Thanx in advance.

Just installed the Fix but it didn't help.

Did find out that the 64-bits version of Internet Explorer 7 does work, why I do not know.
Some applications can use the connection (a sidebar gadget I use to watch the weather radar works normally) and others just can't, like my usenet program Newsleecher.

My hardware: P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP motherboard 2x integrated NIC.
Router: Davolink DV-2020
Switches: Asus GigaX 1008 and 3Com OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch 16

Windows Vista Ultimate x64

Yesterday I installed Vista x64 SP1 RC which was released in the Dutch language this weekend.

Sad to say this didn't resolve my problems.

Anybody have an idea to resolve my issues?

what antivirus do you have?

I'm using the 64bits version of NOD32

Hi Mauser,

I'm having a similar problem, and neither the IE7 nor Firefox work, but Flock is able to access all webpages. I don't have anymore connexion at Home, but I was using it without any problem, and when I brought my computer to work, I couldn't use the web traffic.

I have a dell XPS M1530. I tried different routers (all of them are cisco routers) via wifi (with no security - no key), and it is impossible to use IE7 or firefox.

Could you try to use flock and see if you can access the webpages, because this issue is driving me crazy.
