    The tutorial has 4 methods.

    Method is a general method which, unfortunately, rarely works because the box, you need to check is usually grayed out (unclickable).

    Two method is only for Vista Ultimate and Enterprise.

    Three method applies to all versions of Vista.

    Use the Reg file download. It is simple and easy.

    * Do
    sure that you restart the computer to complete the

  • internet disconnection but to maintain the local network connections

    How disconnect (and subsequently reconnect) the internet connection of a computer in the network when you are keeping this computer completely connected to the local network.  I can't find a way to do it with a few simple clicks.  This is easily achievable with Network Magic, even the point of having a particular computer available in the annex "over and out" for internet and 100% available for the local network.  The problem is that Network Magic is no longer available.

    Solutions appreciated.

    Jayant,

    Thank you for your time on this, but I found a nice software which is more that I need.  It is at this place for others who want this feature.  I recommend that you check it out because it is very versatile, loads quickly and seems to be bug free.

  • M30: Could not find a Local network connection

    Hi all, I really hope that someone can help me!
    I had a M30 Windows Home, it comes with a built-in wireless G connection (that's fine).

    However whenever I try to access my network via an ethernet cable, I can't find my LAN connection under--> network connections Control Panel.

    I have installed the last drive for the LAN (lan-sm30-xp - 56068112003.zip) available on the support site.

    I'm still not able to detect my NIC or discovered my connection to the local network.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I agree with chance. Try to create a new connection to the local network. In addition, you can also try to run the network troubleshooter utility.

    Good luck

  • Why don't I have to reset my network adapter "Local network connection" every time before I can use the internet

    I downloaded the new Vista service pack 2 and now whenever I try to connect to internet, it won't allow me, and I have to reset my adapter "Local area connection".  I also suspect that it might be a registry error, but am not sure.

    I have a 32 gigabytes of gateway Home Premium 2008 computer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In addition, I'm not very proficient on the computer, please give as much detail as possible.

    Thank you!!!

    Bro, I think I've cracked it. Too, I have the same computer and had the same problem.

    Here's what I did:
    Computer-> gerer manage-> Device Manager-> network-> NVidia-> power management card, then uncheck all the boxes.
    I think that when the computer went to sleep, he turned off the adapter, and when the computer is awake, the adapter remained sleep... just a hypothesis.
    Anyway, since I made the change, I had no problem.
    Good luck!

  • Local network connection takes forever to connect at startup

    I have a Dell desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. After Installing Roxio Creator, the (Ethernet) Connection of local area now for always takes during the boot process. Before, you will see the audio icon followed by the load of the network icon in the status bar. The network connection took only a second to connect. After Creator 2010 it takes 10-15 seconds, then displays brand of yellow scream, then finally connects to access internet. Just for the record, I'm using Norton Antivirus 2010 and Windows Firewall.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Tim,.

    It seems its a problem with Roxio, you can try to delete the startup entry and check. If you still have questions, you may have to contact Roxio.

    Clean clean boot.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    The user account control permission.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type

    password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load starting points.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
