Vista connects to my router, but for local access only.

I am running windows home edition vista 32 bit on my laptop and until today I had no problems with my internet connection.  I've updated my norton 360 today and had no problems until I rebooted a few hours later.  I can connect to my router but it gives me local access only.  My Linux Ubuntu 10.4 and Mac OS X system is running to the same router with no problems.

What can I do to connect my Vista laptop to internet?

So I got on my windows to try what you say and guess what. -_ - (indifferent face) my vista decided to take my wireless and give me access to the internet after most of the month.  I don't know what happened.  I didn't have anything new in the last three days... It's fixed now, but I still don't know what it does break.  Any ideas as what caused it?

    All other devices (PC, radio) I can access the Internet through the router without problems.

    Before I read too many books, can someone point me in the right direction?

My ipv6 settings are set to automatic. I would like to know if you want pictures of my computer screen. Help, please.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    Did you do any hardware or software changes to your computer recently?

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    Run the network troubleshooter
    Reference:
    Using the troubleshooter from network in Windows 7
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7

    If this does not help, then use method 2.

    Method 2:
    For the DNS server, follow these steps.

    a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. in the command prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER:

    ipconfig/flushdns

    Note: There is a space between ipconfig and /.

    It will show you the message successfully empty the cache of DNS resolution.

    c. again once, in the command prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER.

    ipconfig/registerdns

    d. type the following command at the command prompt and press ENTER.

    ipconfig/all

    The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

    If your IP address of your Local network connection is 0.0.0.0 or 169.x.x.x (where x is a number any), then your computer does not receive an IP address from router.

    If this is the case, try this:

    a. type ipconfig enough at the command prompt and press ENTER.

    b. then, type ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER.

    The test again by typing ipconfig/all to see what is the address?  (If you are on a router, it should start by or 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x 10.x.x.x)

    Then, if the problem persists, use method 3.

    Method 3:
    Please use the suggestions contained in this Microsoft support article and check the issue.

  • local access only - cannot connect to my wireless router

    I can't get my laptop to connect to my wireless router, all I get is local access only, but my laptop with windows 7 connects very well.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.

    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.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    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.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    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 .

  • Connects to the router, but cannot send or receive data

    I have a WRT54G.  I can find the network and connect to the router, but I can't send or receive data.  I tried to connect directly to the router and I still not able to send or receive data. Both computers on the router has the same problem.  I did a reset the router back to the settings by default and still no luck.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance for the help.

    The first thing you can try is when you the Modem and the router is connected to the other, disconnect the power from the router and Modem, wait 30 seconds and then plug in the power to the Modem and once all the lights are solid, then connect the power supply to the Linksys router, now check if you are able to go online. If still no then...

    Who is your ISP. So I think you need to re - configure all settings of your router again.

    You can temporarily disable the antivirus and firewall on the computer and see if it helps:
    Enable or disable Windows Firewall
    NOTE: Turn off Windows Firewall might make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.
    You can see the following link to disable the Antivirus installed on your computer software.
     
    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks

    Please follow these recommended steps and post if you still experience the problem. I'd be happy to help you further.

  • 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.

  • local access only: unable to connect to the internet

    Recently, my laptop has trouble to connect to my home network. It's a laptop Dell and Windows Vista. This laptop used to connect wirelessly to the network without any problem, but lately, whenever it connects, it is said that "local access" and does not allow me to use the internet. " This problem occurred at the same time I replaced my old router with a new. Another laptop and other devices can still connect to the internet with this new router with no problems, but my laptop stops the message "local access only".

    After some research, I discovered that in typing "Cmd" in the search bar after clicking the start menu, run this program as an administrator, type "netsh int ip reset" in the command prompt, then by restarting my computer would fix my problem and my laptop would work very well and connect to the network and to the internet with no problems. However, as soon as my laptop is entered 'sleep' mode or has been disabled, when it was turned on again the problem persists and I have to follow the process of using the command prompt and restart the computer every time I turned on my laptop.

    As you can imagine, this process can be quite annoying and I would like to find a more permanent solution to my problem, especially since the past several times, I tried this workaround, it failed, so my laptop is once more without internet access. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated I am completely puzzled. Thanks for any help.

    I recently had problems getting a wireless connection with my laptop (Pavilion dv6700) running vista. I had previously run it for 2 years without problem, but after returning from Sweden (where there is still no wireless connection problem), I was often only able to get a local access. Is not on all networks - my University library system works very well, for example, but the personal network of my apartment as well as the network of my parents, as well as a local coffee shop that I had previously connected to fine, only get local access.
