• Computer connects to the network wireless as "local only".

  I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a HP Pavilion laptop.  I've never had any problems to connect this machine to a wireless network before, in hotels, at home, or anywhere.  My current home network is a modem - cable-> wireless-> wireless netgear n300 router.  My laptop connects to the internet via the modem cable directly or a wire from the netgear router.  I have a second, almost cell identical (it's intel, while the one who does not is AMD) which connects to the network wireless without any problem.  Two iphones connected wirelessely without any problem.  My HP laptop is the only one who refuses to connect to the internet.  Connected to the wireless network, it has access "local only".

  I tried the solution in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

  The question does not seem to receive an ip address, the computer receives an ip address.  I have disabled the IP v6, ran the norton removal tool, because I only had to a point and tried all other suggestions in these discussions: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/0949042d-074e-43ab-ba95-3c06cc2aa6be and http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/bc08f0e7-49a9-4458-9e0e-149b2df362ec.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter and all TCP/IP and network protocols associated with it.  I am at a loss and would welcome any ideas.

• E2000 wireless router Local

  Nice day. I read and read and read sssoooo lots of posts on this problem. So, as the bed of my subject line, I have connectivity problems with my router. I entered the router itself to 192.168.1.1, change settings, reset settings, updated the firmware of the 1.0.04)is, or anything that has been posted by other users. I also changed my settings for the network card in my lappy, re-edited my IP, deleted / reinstalled the NIC, and / or what I found to try to do. I'm frustrated and upset that a wireless problem gives me so much headache.

  I am running Vista 32 Home Premium, HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook, with a Cisco Linksys E2000 Wireless-N router. I have connected a desktop computer via wireless adapter USB, my android phone, android phone my GF, her children phones and iTouch and when I try a wireless connection to the router, I get a local access only with a unidentifiable network, which then limited my access online, (I can not connect to internet). It won't let me access the Internet via an ethernet cable but not wireless. I bypassed the router and connected directly to the modem without any problem. I have reset the modem and the router several times, as well as restarted my computer laptop a lot trying to win a link any. My laptop can connect to other hotspots wireless / points without any access problem.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  K.

  OK, well I fixed it. I rolled back my drivers for my adpater, Atheros card and reinstalled via live chat on Linksys/Cisco, who have helped me. Sometimes the simplest solutions is the most often overlooked. Thanks for your reply and your help!

• Wi - Fi and network suddenly stopped... Local only (Vista).

  I basically solved my problem. I'm writing this in case someone else has this problem.  (I was without any networking capability for about a month after a failure and request Windows update several uninstals due to a malfunction stopped responding - don't know if any of these are related?)  The computer couldn't even * is * on the network.

  First, I eliminated material as being the cause.  My suspicion is that a firewall was still in force, even if I completely uninstalled my Antivirus and disabled the Windows Firewall already.  Then I tried to disable the Base filtering engine (the "Services"), and * voila! * all returned.  I immediately installed a temporary, caught up firewall on Windows Update and reinstalled my Antivirus.  Everything's fine now, as long as I keep the Base filtering engine.  Rebooting it stops all the networks again.  I don't know if there are risks to let off, but for now, I'm happy.

  ******************************************************************

  Sorry if it's verbose.  I was no longer able to use networks of any type for about 3 weeks on my laptop Vista Home Basic.  Are wired and wireless down (I use different routers to a cable and Wi - Fi), while my Office XP continues work as a champion using a router.

  Everything had been working fine for a year or more until what all of a sudden stop.

  I also can't connect to the network wirelessly at my school more (it is a laptop).

  (Note that I am not currently under any additional firewall beyond the Windows Firewall).

  Three concurrent problems occurred at the time of the failure which could be related.

  (1) I tried an uninstall of the interface software LegoMindstorms NXT after a school project.  Uninstalling shifted on for about an hour and has stopped responding.  I did a system restore and repeated the uninstall.

  (2) I noticed the 'auto-protect active"icon of Symantec AV was changed to"disabled", even if I was not disabled it and my license is up to date.  In the settings menu, I unchecked and recontroler the auto-protect of selection, but it didn't fix it.  I tried to uninstall it, and it stopped responding as well.  I did a restore and another attempt to uninstall succeeded.  Windows Firewall and defender will have to do for now.  (I'll be reinstalling my AV soon and will get updates when I am able to connect again).

  (3) I reviewed my recent Windows updates installed and found the last (KB982536) has a status marked "failed".  I uninstalled that before that failed just to see if she had caused the next update not working, but it does not solve the problem.

  * I tried several system restores, but none have set.

  I also did the following:

  tried another ethernet cable
  * removed wired and wireless cards from the Device Manager, rebooted and (allowed them to reinstall)
  * updated to the latest version of the NETWORK adapter driver by using my other computer (XP) and the copy of the USB
  * sfc/scannow
  * checking memory
  * chkdsk
  * netsh int ip reset
  * netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
  * netsh int Reinitialis
  * netsh winsock reset
  * netsh winsock reset catalog
  * netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
  * ipconfig/flushdns
  * nbstat - r
  * nbstat - rr
  * Microsoft Fixit "Dotnet" cleaning tool for Vista (copied from USB)
  * Micorsoft Fixit "50357: cannot get an IP addy" (copied from USB) - has attempted but * is not * run
  Tried to IPv6 without commitment, but has not helped - I finally put back it

  (An upgrade to Windows 7 can solve the problem, but this isn't an option I will consider for now.)

  Your settings do not look correct to me.  There is no default gateway (which alone explains why you can't connect).  Good number of other entries look right either (they are different, that I'm used to seeing).

  I suggest you remove all your network connections (remove them all) and start from scratch.  Configuration of the LAN connection, and when you get this work then set up the internet connection and get this to work.  Do not re - install connections, you do not need more (it seems that you have a good number of people).  You have tried to repair these connections and there may be something wrong with them which cannot be repaired (they can be corrupted or some type of conflict or other).  Starting with a network connection fees registration with nothing (not wired or wireless) and do everything as if it was a new machine can solve the problem.  Make sure you know the correct settings before deleting the current connections (and make sure that they are correct even if you need to contact your ISP for confirmation).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Atheros / Vista "local only".

  Go crazy with this problem of "local only". Hundreds of discussions on this problem. Very few solutions.  My mother's laptop connects via an ethernet cable, but not through the wireless card. (Atheros).  I spent almost 6 hours dealing with this ridiculous problem.  Seriously, WiFi is a facet of base... and if the phones can do things, he should not be so difficult for a computer to do.

  Wireless connection "local only".

  (8) update to the Vista SP2

  (9) a second test machine, he was able to connect to the router fine.  Tried to connect to another router with Compaq, has failed. Problem certainly seems to be with the Atheros driver/network stack.

  (10) all check-out IP addresses and are configured correctly.

• Cannot connect Windows XP computer to the wireless router

  Original title: why did I have to disable my ethernet on my front XP computers connections all of a sudden they would connect to my wireless network

  I installed a new AT & T wireless router

  Only my Windows 7 laptop would connect to the new wireless router.

  For my XP desktop and the laptop I had to disable the ethernet connections [although no cable not connected] so that the wireless to connect.

  I did it on a whim after days of not being able to connect and many calls to support AT & T.

  Both computers have shown the presence of the network, had 4 or 5 bars and had the right key WAP.

  So what did this happen?  XP update?  Wireless driver update?  The AT & T router?

  I had the problem until I'm the new router, AT & T AT & T could find nothing wrong with the old.

  Their "solution" was to send a new router - Netgear v the Westell, I had for days of Bellsouth.

• How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you reconnect then wireless.

  problems with wireless Vista "local only".

  How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?

  Hello

  Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer.  Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.

• Problem with Internet access: local only for wireless in Vista

  Help, please.  I have a Dell laptop and a Dell desktop computer.  The other day, I pressed WPS on my router Netgear wireless, and since then, my desktop computer (Windows Vista Home Premium SP2) was not able to connect to the Internet.  The office is connected to my router.  My Dell (Win 7 Pro) laptop is able to connect wirelessly to the router and Internet.

  That's what I tried:
  (1) I bought a new wireless router Netgear WNDR4500
  (2) I bought a cutting mini USB wifi adapter for the desktop.  Install the driver.
  (3) reset winsock, ipv4, ipv6, dns
  -netsh int ip reset reset.log
  -netsh winsock reset catalog

  ipconfig/flushdns

  (4) order McAfee firewall
  (5) restarted several times
  (6) persons with disabilities wired and wireless enabled - I get signal green/fort
  (7) off active and wired wireless
  None of the above seem to work.  I keep getting 'Access to local only' on both cables and wireless.  When I ping yahoo.com, I get no response.
  My laptop, however, works very well in the connection to the wireless router and also to the Internet.
  Anything else I can try?  Help, please!

• Laptop wireless with NETGEAR router Home Windows Vista detects on the local network and internet

  We have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L505-S6946 with Windows Vista on it. We bought a router Netgear Wireless G WGR614V10 a few months ago and installed ok. It worked fine for a few months. Now the network connection to the bottom rhs shows tray icon: 'Local only' for the connection of the SSID, we have implemented. Technical support Netgear has determined that the router works fine. But they noted that the router might get a static IP address in his settings of the adapter wireless Vista. And they said that something should be changed in Vista to a direct connection with the modem works fine for internet access, but it's bulky. Someone please do you suggest to fix this error? Thank you!!!

  Hello

  A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.

  Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

  If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  ----------------------------

  The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

  Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

  ----------------

  Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

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

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

  * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

• 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.

  Hi JosetteMaccario,

  Step 1:

  You can check the following link and try to run the network diagnostic tool and check.

  Network connection problems

  Step 2:

  You can also check out the following link and try the steps.

  In the Windows wireless network connection problems

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/wireless-network-connection-problems-in-Windows

  Step 3:

  You can also try temporarily disabling the third-party antivirus software and firewall installed on your computer and check if the problem persists. If the problem is resolved, you will need to uninstall the software and reinstall it back or change the settings and check.

  Note: Be sure to enable the security software on the computer after checking.

  Hope this information is useful.

• 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.

  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 .

• Computer Vista laptop cannot connect to new wireless router

  I had the laptop for about a year and a half, and he has a history of being pretty skittish about the wireless connection.  Often he simply refuses to do so.  During vacation last year, for example, the other three laptops connected family easily to wi - fi hotel, but mine has refused to.  There are a lot of other moments when the laptop could not connect, but I was able to connect to two most important places - home and work - without much trouble, and so I haven't looked too hard to solve the problems of connection up to now.

  This week, I replaced the router in my original configuration.  The old Netgear router kept giving up the connection between her and my ISP.  The new Linksys router looks rock solid in this regard.  I have a desktop running XP computer that is wired to the new router Linksys, and he sees the internet very well.  My laptop Vista unable to connect (wireless), however.  He sees the network with a lot of intensity of the signal, and it tries to connect.  I get a message saying that the connection takes longer than usual, and then another message saying 'connected.'  However, I do not have internet access, and I see other devices (just the XP desktop, really) on the network.  The Network and Sharing Center shows my laptop connected to the 'unidentified network', and then there is a red X between this network and the Internet (represented by a grey globe).  Laptop computer signals its 'access' as "local only".

  From the desktop, I can access the internet, so the router is connected to the points upstream.  From the desktop, I can also access the router configuration pages, and I see that it does not list the laptop as a dhcp client, even if the laptop thinks that it is connected.

  ipconfig on laptop computer displays a wacky IPv4 address: 169.254.2.91 and I guess that the laptop does not get an address passed to the router.  I think that there should be a 192.168. *. * address if it worked properly.

  Now, I was pretty sure my laptop's wireless adapter to work properly.  It always connects to the old router and it always connects to the work.  But to be sure and really test the new router, I went out and bought another USB adapter wireless.  When I plug it into the computer to Office XP, the Office connects to the router and can see the internet (even with the connection cable is disconnected).  So the new router and the new wireless USB adapater properly.  When I plug the USB wireless adapter into the laptop, the laptop still can't connect and still not get a good ip address assigned by the router.

  I've been at this for a few days now, and I could really use some help.  I read a few items in the Microsoft forums that was supposed to fix the problem.  One of them told me to try to start a program called DHCP in the Administrative Tools folder.  I do not have this program on my computer.  Another told me manually change my registry (ouch!) and add a new DWORD value, and set its value to 1.  I did, but it did not fix the problem.

  I would be very grateful for any help.

  Alright.  I am home to work and back again.  I have read several posts with people reporting problems similar to mine, so I guess I'm not alone in this.  In a thread, the experts proposed to start in Mode safe mode with networking.  So I gave that a shot.  I still couldn't really connect - just this 'local only' without an assigned IP address.

  One thing I did notice, is that my laptop brand and its wireless adapter seem to get a special mention in most positions.  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit version (even if the processor is 64-bit).  The wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007.  Several other people with this card have reported problems.  Maybe it's the cause?

  I look into updating the driver for the card, even if yesterday's test with the separate USB wireless adapter showed that the problem could not just be limited to the Atheros card.  To search for a driver update, I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable.  It's nice to see the web on your laptop.  No update driver does.

  For fun, I try to establish a wireless connection with the router, while the wired connection is still in place.  Looks like maybe it worked?  I say a little prayer and unplug the ethernet cable...

  It's a miracle!  I have a wireless connection to the router and beyond, to the internet.  Huzzah!

  The network has a real name, too, instead of just 'unidentified network '.  I want to change the network type from the public to the private, which I was unable to do while he was still 'unidentified '.

  Can I terminate the connection so that I can see what happens when I try to reconnect.

  Another miracle!  It connects to and still see the internet.  Callooh!  Colay!

  Next test: see what happens after a reboot... (please, please, please)...

  Ch-ching!  It works again!

  Final (?) test: reinstall the McAffee internet security suite and restart.

  And it still works.

  Here's a recap of what I found:
  1. laptop could not connect wireless router again, despite dozens of attempts in which I get every available straw
  2. laptop computer could see the internet when connected to the router
  3. laptop could connect wirelessly to the router while the wired connection is in place
  4. Once this first wireless, laptop computer was able to connect to the router even when the wired connection has been removed and the computer restarts

  I would describe my discovery above as a work-around rather than as a solution, however.  It does not always help me stay connected the next time I'm on vacation, for example.  But perhaps the information I provided can help experts to diagnose the real problem a little.

  I look forward to hear something back.
