• Local and unidentified network access

  I have recently updated my router to an Apple time machine... my iMac, PS3, portable 2 work running XP and another book of Vista works well, BUT my girls one has problems with wireless, it works very well if connected to the router.

  The laptop connects to the router showing a good signal, but the network is showing as not identified and access is only local.

  There seems to be a lot of similar problems on the forum with perhaps too collaborative... so far, I have upgrade to Service pack 2 and downloaded some difficulty is .no change

  Anyone have any idea? Looks like I'm here for days!

  The connection to the router should be local, and unless you have assigned a name to your router, it will say not identified.  The machine has internet access despite what network shows?  Is there an internet icon in the available networks?  If Yes, I suppose that I don't worry what it says - the conection works as it should (although the Internet should appear in connections made when it is turned on).  If not, go to start / Network / Network and Sharing Center / configure a new connection / configuration of an internet connection and follow the prompts to create a new internet connection on your system (you may need to reference the settings on another computer running Vista to the right).  Then try using this new connection to connect to the internet and see if it works.  If so, remove the old connection is not working and you're good to go.

  I hope this helps.  If not, post back with what happens when you try to connect by using the new connection that you created.

  Good luck!

• Problems accessing internet, access "Local only" our network connection

  I have a Compaq laptop (bought in 2008) under Vista Home Premium.  Recently, I was unable to connect to the internet.  The connection to the router is successful, but it says Local access only.

  Frustration, I re-charge the full operating system today.  No difference, unfortunately.  (And, now that the summer is reset, I don't have the updates of Windows, etc..).

  I tried a few things on the internet but you had no chance.

  Suggestions are appreciated!

  Thank you

• Windows Vista - unidentified network Local Access only tried everything please help

  Hello

  I have an Acer Aspire M1610 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 and 2 days ago when I turned it on the internet was not working and it says unidentified network Local access only. I use a wired Ethernet connection. I don't know how it happened as before I had used the computer as usual and the Internet worked very well. I did a lot of research and read a few forum posts about this problem and tried a few solutions but non of them worked. I tried the following:
  (1) disable my firewall and anti-virus who didn't work, I turned their back on immediately.

  2) press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

  Type route delete 0.0.0.0 press ENTER.

  Type ipconfig/flushdns press enter

  Restart your computer.

  (3) the internet protocol version 6 clear, disable and enable the thing

  (4) if same Norton software removal tool I had uninstalled the when I got the computer I read that uninstall it by using uninstall windows is not entirely remove it.

  (5) another thing in the command prompt I don't remember exactly what it was, and I can't find the site Web is because I looked so much of.

  (6) I even reset my computer to factory settings and then uninstalled all unnecessary software and trials that come with and used the software again Norton removal tool.

  Does anyone know how to fix this? Any response will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• Vista "Local access only" and "Unidentified network" problem

  Hi recently my Windows Vista Home Premium - 32-bit has had problems with the internet.

  It was only said 'Local' next to the 'access' and said "Unidentified network" and used to connect me on the internet.

  This problem occurs when you try to connect through an Ethernet cable to the Modem and the router and also while wireless.

  I know that this is not the fault of my Modem/Router, because my laptop says this when I try to connect about internet anybodies.

  Ive spent a good 3 days on this problem, looking for every website I could find searching for answers. NONE of them have worked :(

  Ive done everything except Microsoft and their paying a call answer...

  So if someone can help me, please and id love for it :)

  Also I know people will ask ipconfig/all, but I'll wait for a response and download what the person asking. Thank you.

  I will not need now, I used a program called "Connectify" on my windows 7 laptop. (connectify is a program that acts as a hotspot access point)

  Somehow I was able to connect my Windows Vista computer to the internet via Connectify and I ran all the updates on my laptop with Windows Update, now I am able to connect to my router and modem without any problem.

  Hope that if anyone else has this problem, they can also use Connectify to Windows 7 computers and difficulty there problems internet as I :)

• Wireless network Vista says local only and a network not identified

  Original title: I'm having a problem only with my vista local wireless how to fix?

  We recently got cable internet time warner and I had trouble setting up so I spent an hour or so talking to their tech support. We got it running, but for some reason, my computer of all things can't go on the internet. It says it's connected, but I can't go on the internet. It says local only and that it was an unidentified network. I tried internet options and went on lan settings and selected automatically detect settings. And ipv4.

  Any suggestions?
  Thank you.

  Go to: Control Panel, Manager of Devic, adapters to extend your network, click with the right button on your wireless network and click on uninstall.

  Do not put a check in the box: remove the software driver for this device.

  Restart your computer and Windows will install your wireless network.

  If the problem persists, see if your computer manufacturer has an updated driver.

• I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".

  Access to the "Local" network only
  I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".  Internet became more intermittent (not sure if that is related or if I guess it) and did not work in several weeks.  Desktop computer is plugged into the router, but have the same problem when it is plugged into the DSL modem.  Other computers on the same router (wireless or other) work very well.  Recently, I removed Mcaffee and installed MS security essentials.  I uninstalled mcaffee of programs and settings then used the mcaffee removal tool to lighten the rest.  I uninstalled and reinstalled MS security essentials.  I thought it might be a firewall issue, but I get error 0x6D9 when I try to start it.  I tried all the steps in the following post, nothing helps.  Any other suggestions?

  ______________________

  You can follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Method 1

  Try to power cycle the router and the computer and check if it helps.

  On the PC:

  1. Save your work and restart the machine.

  On the router or modem (if wireless printing):

  1. Unplug the router and the modem.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Plug in the modem and wait for it to come to the ready state.
  4. Plug in the router.

  After you put cycle check the connection between the router and the computer.

  Method 2

  If the steps above do not help, you mayreset TCP/IP stack. To reset access the link below and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
   
  Disable the IP helpdesk:
  1 hold the Windows key and type R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter
  2. scroll down to the IP assistance service, right-click on it and select Properties
  3. in the drop-down list box that says "Automatic" or "Manual", set it to disabled and then click 'apply '.
  4. then click on "Stop" to stop the service from running in the current session
  5. click on OK to exit the dialog box

  Method 3

  Disable IPv6 and remove IPv6 virtual cards:
   
  Try to uninstall IPv6 on all interfaces, the removal of virtual cards of IPv6 and reset the TCP/IP stack. To remove the IPv6, go to the properties for each network adapter, and deselect the check box next to the Protocol "Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6), which will turn off, or select it and click on uninstall, which withdraw power off the computer.» Then go into Device Manager and remove any 4to6 adapters, adapters miniport WUN or tunnel adapters.
  NOTE: You should do this for each network connection, even if they are disabled.

  Method 4

  Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:
  Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233
  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers
   
  To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

  
  1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
  2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  4 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}
  5. in this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.
  6. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.
  7. in the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.
  8. right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.
  9. in the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.
  10. close the registry editor.
   
  By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
  You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the wireless card.

  Also all the sharing and discovery options are turned on as well.

• Unable to connect to wireless internet; can only connect to the network, saying "Local only" or "limited connectivity".

  I have problems to connect to any wireless internet - home, library, coffee shops.  He used to work, began to get in trouble (i.e. could not connect sometimes to the diner, but works in the library) and now does not connect to internet AT ALL wireless.

  Only connects to the network saying "local only".  And I'm lucky even get that much.  Furthermore, I don't know if it's a router problem or what, but it does not even accept the password for my home network (my boyfriend has no problem on the internet with Windows 7 and the current router password).

  I use a HP G60 laptop (maybe?), I don't remember the model exactly.  Windows Vista.  I am frustrated beyond belief.  I took the computer to Best Buy and the man suggested that contact Microsoft because, in his own words, "this seems to be a very common problem with the adapter wireless in Windows Vista".

  In summary: is it a hardware or a software problem?  It seems to be a software problem that can have an impact on the material.  Nevertheless, what can I do to fix this?  Y at - it a software update, I need to try for my wireless card?

  This computer is not yet a year old, and already I am unable to use it for the internet.  Not very well I plug my ethernet cable router wireless in the library.  I bought a laptop for a reason, but it is on track to achieve more like a desktop.  Very disappointing.

  Someone, please help!

  I took the computer to Best Buy and the man suggested that contact Microsoft because, in his own words, "this seems to be a very common problem with the adapter wireless in Windows Vista".

  Is this a hardware or a software problem?  It seems to be a software problem that can have an impact on the material.  Nevertheless, what can I do to fix this?  Y at - it a software update, I need to try for my wireless card?

  Hello

  When the man from BestBuy, fortunately for us technology is not a cleaning product, there is no way of knowing if someone puts his hand on it and knowing what is wrong rather than moving oral reprimand...

  First step, log on to the HP support and download the latest drivers for your wireless card.

  The HPG60 is a very good phone but its wireless card has problems with old drivers.

  In which case it's a hardware problem, contact HP support.

  In general, you can use this process to find out what's wrong with the wireless.

  Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  When the work turns on the Wireless security.

  Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

  Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

  I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

  Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
  some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .
