Internet Connection Issues

I have been experiencing what sounds like a similar experience. Although
yesterday it began even worse. My Vista system would only connect to local,
and had lost any ability to connect to the internet (not just sporadically).
On further inspection I found it had lost the gateway. I initially suspected
a firewall issue too, but after turning off, it didn't go away. I finally
resorted to removing my Linksys wireless N adapter, rebooted without the
card, shut down and added the card again. This resulted apparently in
rediscovering and all seemed well. However, after accessing email either
through Outlook 2002 or "Windows Mail" in Vista, I loose connectivity on IE
until I reboot, all appears well as long as I don't access them. I will
follow up searching the suggested sites below, but would appreciate any other
suggestions as well.

same problem here// i have windows mail and also installed windows live
mail// whenever i surf the mail from window's mail or the window's live mail,
my internet get disconnect// got window vista OS// please help

I have a similar issue my 3COM ADSL wireless/firewall/router frequently
disconnects and looses sync (as witnessed by the front panel lamps). This has
only started since I made a wired connection to a new VISTA computer. I have
scoured all the notes in the links given but can find nothing relevant. I
also had a devil of a job getting sharing going between a couple of other XP
machines. It seems to come and go when you view the Network folder. Strangely
connections to netwroked printers was simplicity and stable. Anyhints as to
why the router connection has become so flaky gratefully accepted.

I have similar problems since installing Vista. My DSL connections works
fine unless I try to use another program that access the internet such as my
p2p program. Once I allow that program to run, my IE will say page can not
be found even the task bar shows I am still connected to the internet. I
have to diagnose the program and do a "ping" which sometimes works and
sometimes does not. Please note that I have put the program on the
exceptions list for my McAfee program and for my windows firewall as well for
full access to the internet so I can't figure out why I have this
connectivity issue. Please help.

I seem to have the same kind of issue. In the last few weeks since I got
this Vista machine, it's always popping up dialogs saying that it has to dial
for a new connection. Yahoo mail seems to be good at provoking this flaky
behaviour. I keep having to restart Yahoo mail anew. It just gets into a
weird state where the network processes behind the scenes are just not
working properly. I would really like to think that someone at Microsoft or
Yahoo is working hard to isolate and fix whatever is causing this.

I just upgraded ultimate.

I can connect fine through hardline or my home network. I have tried a
friends wireless network, and it worked there.

The problem I'm having is on certain hotspots and MY OFFICE:
specifically those that require a log-in to work.

In the wireless internet box it says "Access: Local" whereas at home
it says "Access: internet"

What is happening is that I connect to my office network or hotspot
and only get local access. I go to google.com and dont get direted to
the page. Instead it just gives the standard DNS error message that
I'm not connected
to the internet. Windows diagnostic repair does nothing either and
blames it on my IP.

I've called Dell and they said this is a Vista problem that they don't
have any answers for at the moment.

I've tried connecting with both IE and Firefox, the exact same thing
happens. Skype doesn't connect, Outllook email etc.

So
- it's not my computers hardware, since I can connect to other
networks
- it's not the office internet network or hotspot, since other
computers
work fine
- I suspect it's some new security feature or the IPv6?

Any suggestions?

I see that lots others are having this same issue connect locally but
not
the internet.

Any help would be appreciated

is your IP a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx number when this happens?
