Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Vista - how i hate thee.... Does anyone have a knack of making Vista go furter then our network..IE the internet!!
mb2k01 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Not sure I understand the issue / question. Are you saying you can log on to the network, access any local intranet sites but just not access the Internet? 1
mullet_man Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 The fix I find when Vista doesn't have the globe in the taskbar is to restart, but yes Vista is pants. 1
rush_tech Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Is it a laptop or desktop? I had this problem with my vista desktop at home, and it turned out to be because it was sent to sleep and when I woke it back up there as no connection. The solution was to unplug the power cable leave it out for a min plug it back in.....worked after that:confused: 1
ICT_GUY Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Yes I have had this problem before. It connects to the network but refuses to go beyond it. Repairing sometimes works, Its sometimes to do with having multiple network connections (such as your mobile phone). But thats just a guess. 1
Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Sorry, im on the brink of throwing it out the window... Vista laptop, trying to use it wirelessly. Can connect and browse network but cant get any internet. Not working when wired either...
DMcCoy Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 The icon only appears when it gets a response from a specified server iirc. Just because it says local only doesn't mean it has no internet connection, this query can fail with things like authenticating proxies and various firewalls. Essentially it doesn't really mean anything. 1
AngryITGuy Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 If Vista cannot connect to http://www.microsoft.com it assumes the machine only has local network connectivity. Maybe worthwhile checking proxy settings for IE. I've just fired up a Vista machine here and even though I can surf the internet its telling me I only have local connectivity 1
Jamo Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Ping default gateway then if that works try pinging and tracert -ing some sites and see if you get any responses. Do you have a proxy server which requires ident replies? 1
AngryITGuy Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Sorry, im on the brink of throwing it out the window... Vista laptop, trying to use it wirelessly. Can connect and browse network but cant get any internet. Not working when wired either... What browser are you using IE7, you might want to try an alternative browser to try and find out if the issue is with the IE or the OS itself. 1
Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks for all your replies guys... I deleted the adapters and let it reinstall them and seems ok at the mo. But these other things you have suggested might help me with an out of work problem that im also having with Vista Thanks again..
Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Cursing Caroline lol...why what did i do?
Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Do you mean the section i put it in? If so, Laptop = Hardware lol plus im not at all with it today... Now back to the one with the non working keyboard and mouse...
Dos_Box Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Try turning off power management on the nic. Can't elaborate, on mobile.
Jamo Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Cursing Caroline lol...why what did i do? Ah im afraid thats just shameless plug for my acoustic project lol well you could listen to the acoustic music to help you relax whilst pinging?
Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 I know exactly what you mean Mr Dos_Box sir
Little-Miss Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Now you can all help me with this one... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/hardware/52616-mouse-keyboard-laptop-not-working.html
sacrej Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 in the network adapter properties, go to ipv4 then 'properties', then go to advanced...under 'default gateways' type the IP of your gateway/ISA server voila thats how I get it to work on windows 7 ent anway.
