I have recently upgraded to Vista home premium. After many unsuccessful
attempts at trying to connect to my USB adapter(Belkin N1) I updated the
drivers for my USB adapter for the vista OS. After applying the update and
configuring the adapter to the security I had enabl on the router (WPA-PSK),
I finally made a wireless connection to my router (Belkin N1 router). At
this point I was overjoyed and proceeded to open IE7 to connect to the
internet only to be informed that the pages could not be displayed (i.e.
www.microsoft.com and www.google.com). Upon checking the network status on
vista it was showing me that I had successfully made a connection to the
router but from the router to the internet there was a big "X" through the
connection. I am able to access the internet through my laptop (XP) using
the same USB adapter to the same router with the same security settings
without issue. Please note that there is not IP conflict on the router as it
shows that it has its own IP. I do not think it is DNS related as my laptop
is able to connect without issue.
Can someone please advise me if there is anything that I am missing on the
Vista OS that will not allow me access to the internet and open up one of the
key functions of a computer |

Hi, are you using DHCP? On both your vista pc and laptop, do a ipconfig,
compare and check if they are using the same gateway and DNS.

Yes I am using DHCP. I will check to confirm. If they are using the same
and the error is still occuring is there anything else that could cause this?

Have you set up a Wireless Network in your Router? SSID?
If you have, in Vista, click start>Connect to> follow prompts.
It will show wireless networks. put in your WPA key, and connect.

Hi
Do you mean that it connects to the Network via Wireless, but would not
connect through plugged in Wired connection with a cable?
If so, did you try to disable the Wireless card before trying the cable
connection?
Or at least configure metrics like this, http://www.ezlan.net/metrics.html

It seems I have a similar problem. I can see an earth on the connection icon
in Windows tray. I can ping any site without a problem (tried Google, yahoo,
....). However, when I use IE, it says there is no network connection. When I
use FireFox, it says the server cannot be found for all sites I have tried.
One thing strange is this is a new computer. I was able to surf web after I
installed the LinkSys adapter. However, after I started Windows Firewall and
user control, I cannot browse the web any more even after I removed the
firewall. I still can ping any site but cannot browse the web. I have Vista
64 OS.

Every bloody time update Vista, my internet does NOT want to connect
fully or worse yet, It have to run a system repair at start up before it
will bloody boot up properly! >_< What gives? Also, does ANYONE know
where I can get hold of a Windows 7 Voucher for this computer? are they
offering Windows 7 coupons to existing Vista users?

I assume you're running a network or you wouldn't be posting here. As
such, lemme offer these solutions.....
1). Power cycle your router (This usually solves the problem right away!)
If the problem persists however (In other words, you STILL can't connect
get online), try doing these things IN ORDER (Performing connectivity
tests after each task)....
2). Power cycle your router AND your modem
3). COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN THE CULPRIT COMPUTER & power cycle your router
& modem
4). COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ALL COMPUTERS ON YOUR NETWORK & power cycle
your router & modem (Usually it's a simple case of one computer not
being able to see or talk to the other(s) on the network, but that's not
necessarily true)
In the event ALL of the above tasks fail, there's this nifty little
option.....
5). Call your ISP & report the problem to them
They may have you repeat all of the above tasks, but then again, there
may be a problem on their end which they may already be aware of. If
this is the case, the only thing you can do is just simply wait it out.
Hope this helps.....

Hi, I have read the threads regarding difficulties with Netgear router
connection to the internet and here is a further twist. Similar problems
have been discussed in the context of Vista and XP but my problem is
with Window 7 Home Premuim 64 bit. My Netgear router Range Max N worked
fine on my 3 week-old PC, first on Vista Home Premium, then continued to
work for another 1 week when I upgraded to Windows 7 Home premium.
Router status shows “connected” but I am not able to access
any website from this new PC anymore. Three laptops in the household
each running Windows 7, WinXP and Vista Home Premium are able to connect
wirelessly to the Internet through the same router. Also, my older PC
running WinXP connects successfully to the Internet by direct network
cable connection to the same router. I swapped the network cable but
that did not help. Windows 7 diagnosis finds no reason for the problem
and basically leaves me with no further suggestion. Can anyone help me
out please?
