Hi zzzorrro,
I tried your fix but no luck.
Do you have anymore suggestions which could work.

Thanks in advance

Darren, I've used this fix on multiple laptops....it does work. Not sure why
you are still having a problem. Of course, you realize, microsoft in its
infinite wisdom did to the public again, what they did to us each time they
come out with a new system, try to force everyone to upgrade their hardware
(in this case their routers). Boy, wish I had invested in some of those
stocks before Vista hit the market.
Sorry, if my solution didn't work for ya. Again not sure why.

I can ping local resources not internet. I travel from site to site with my
lenovo T60P. If I uplug the network cable-even at the same site- I have to
refresh the adapter (properties/change something like PME or other function
not too drastic) to get access to the internet. I alsways get a DHCP Ok but
no internet. This happens with all different Sites using different
firewalls.

Today i ran in to this on a Dell Opt 745. It sat for a while and - broken
internet - local network OK. Refresh the network adapter- fixed.

I think this is a Windows Vista Security Bug- or a hidden phone home to MS
via some third party site- Figuring it's not lying by going directly to MS


Lots of folks just reboot and don't post - this is a big issue out there
folks..


OK enough barging..

I'll try the ARP fix.. THX

I've been having this problem as well. At first, it was just with the
wireless networks, and if I rebooted enough times it eventually just
worked. Now, though, it's started to attack my wired connection to a
network I've used every day for the last six months. It's a university
network, so it's fairly secure, but it still says "Unknown Network" when
it won't let me connect.
