Can you help with a networking issue?

Bob

You are correct, we have two computers in our network one is connected wired
to the router and is running Windows XP and one is a wireless connection to
the second machine which was recently upgraded to Vista Home. This is the
machine I am having issue with. Per your request:

You may have multiple NICs, but the ipconfig shows only wireless connects. From the ipconfig result, I think you may have a routing issue. Can you post the routing table back? To do that, use this command line: route print.

Just a guess here, but from looking at what you've provided all of the
networks are the same. The second is a IPv6 networks and if you take a close
look at the IP address you'll notice the IPv4 address embedded.

I get real nervous when I hear things like "unidentified." Do you have a
need for the IPv6 protocol? If not then I'd disable it in your network
settings and see if that removes the unidentified network.
