RE: Some Wireless networks appears as local only
I do hope this post on an old thread will be seen and answered.

> Here is one solution that may work for SOME routers (but it does NOT work
> for all of them!)
>
>

I really wanted to try this solution as my new Vista machine seems to be
having this DHCP problem. (At least, that's my best guess at this point.)
But I'm having trouble understanding the instructions.

It says that once you've navigated the specified registry path, you should
"click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is
connected to the network." How do I know which subkey that is? I have four
different subkeys in that registry path, and they are all just long
hexadecimal strings - I don't know which one corresponds to the wireless
adapter I'm having trouble with.

Also, the referenced page seems to present two entirely different registry
edits (the second one is presented under "more information"). Should I do
both? I can test them (and their combination) systematically, but I'd
appreciate any insight.

Thanks

Re: Some Wireless networks appears as local only
This is a good question. The following answer from Bill Castner MS-MVP.

1. MS KB articles always start with the admonition to backup the registry.
In this particular case the restore point is sufficient.

2. It does not matter what {GUID} you use. You want to apply the patch to
any found.

3. There are absolutely two different registry values involved:

DhcpConnDisableBcastFlagToggle
DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag

Can you see the difference?

Open regedit. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
Right-click, and select Export. Save the results to a file. Right-click on
the saved file and choose "Edit." This opens the file with Notepad. Copy and
paste the contents in your next reply. I will edit the results for you.

Okay; I admit to being not entirely sure what a network adapter is, so I
wasn't certain whether to do this or not. Just out of curiosity, is there a
way to figure out which GUID corresponds to which network adapter?

Yes, thanks - that's what I had noticed on the MS webpage, that it was
instructing two different changes. But one change was presented as "more
information," and I didn't find that very illuminating!

Re: Some Wireless networks appears as local only

This is odd, I posted a response last night and it doesn't appear to have
turned up here. I guess I'll try again.

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply.

Okay. I asked because I don't want to break network adapters that are
working properly in trying to fix the one that isn't working. Just out of
curiosity, how would I determine which GUID corresponds to which network
adapter?

Yes, thank you, that's why I asked the question - the MS page was advising
two different registry changes, but calling one of them "more information."
It wasn't clear from the instructions what the relationship between the two
changes was.

Re: Some Wireless networks appears as local only

I have attempted to reply to this twice now; the forum gives me no
indication that anything has gone wrong - my post just doesn't show up.

I'm going to take a guess that the forum thought my post with the
copy-and-pasted registry text was too long, and so I am leaving it off of
this post just to see if it works.

Thanks very much for your quick and helpful reply.

Okay - I don't want to break a network adapter that is working by applying
this fix, which is why I wanted to know how to tell which one was which.
Just out of curiosity, how does one determine which GUID corresponds to which
network adapter? I looked at every properties dialogue I could find about
the network adapters.

Yes, thank you; that's why I asked the question. The MS page clearly shows
two different registry changes, but labels one of them "more information".
It's not clear from that what the relationship between the two changes is.

As I said above, I have been having trouble posting, and so I've not
attached the text. I do appreciate your offer to show me what the edits are.
But, I can understand from the MS page how to make the changes, I just
wanted to know whether I needed to make BOTH changes described on that page.


Thanks again - I really hope this one goes through, I don't need to add
arbitrary frustrations with the help forum to arbitrary problems with Vista.

Okay. I asked because I don't want to break network adapters that are
working properly in trying to fix the one that isn't working. Just out of
curiosity, how would I determine which GUID corresponds to which network
adapter?

Yes, thank you, that's why I asked the question - the MS page was advising
two different registry changes, but calling one of them "more information."
It wasn't clear from the instructions what the relationship between the two
changes was.
