Re: Unidentified Network, Access: Local Only

The network configuration is correct. It's something else. Windows System
Information reports that the driver is stopped which I assume is not normal
but I will try to verify this on another working Vista system.

Well I don't have your hardware, but it looks to me that you are using a
driver design for Windows 2000 and not vista. Have you permitted vista to
connect to the internet and download the latest driver?

I have a new build PC with an ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA motherboard which installed
Vista Home Premium perfectly. Device manager is not reporting any problems.

I am hard wired through a DLink 614+ cable router which works fine with my XP
computers, but my Vista PC won't connect, I just get UNIDENTIFIED NETWORK,
ACCESS: LOCAL ONLY

I get a good IP address on IPv4, 192.168.0.101, which is obtained
automatically, but I can't ping the router or access the router interface
through IE.

I have run the router evaluation tool "
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/using/tools/igd/default.mspx" from my XP PC
with good results.

I am tearing my hair out, (what little remains).

Can anyone help?

Duncan

Duncan, I assume you have 2 machines connected to your router (an XP
machine and a Vista machine). Can these machines see each other?

When they are both connected to the router, the xp machine gets to the
internet OK, but the vista does not. To me, this indicates some wackiness
with the config on the vista system. Have you tried the "Diagnose and
Repair" option? right-click on the network Icon, and select "Diagnose &
repair".

I've tested with the DI-614+, and it worked for us (I know, I know...).
ensure your router has the latest firmware from dlink (ver 2.34, dated 3/06)
from http://support.dlink.com/products/vi...id=DI%2D614%2B.

Do you have protected your network with a MAC filter? It seems to me that
maybe the router rejects the connection from your Vista PC. Look at the
router configuration menue from your XP PC for the MAC filter and switch it
off.

Are there any errors logged on your router?

Addendum to original post

I have upgraded the firmware on the router to the latest version.

I have now installed a wireless adapter on the Vista PC and this networks
perfectly with my 2 XP PC's through the DI-614+ router. Which proves the
router is OK with Vista (am I right?)

However, I still have the original problem when I connect the onboard NIC.
ie Unidentified Network, Access: Local only

This is leading me to suspect that maybe the NIC is not compatible with Vista,
even though Vista is saying it is working properly. So my next step is
install a PCI NIC and see what happens. I will report back

As promised, I am reporting back.

I have installed a PCI NIC and guess what, all is OK. So it even though the
onboard NIC is reporting as "This device is working properly" there must be a
driver issue with the onboard NIC as regards Vista.

For your information, the problem NIC is :
Nvidia nForce Networking Controller
Driver file - nvm60x32.sys
Driver ver - 6.2.0.126

I have the exact same mobo with 405 chipset and the exact same problem.
The lastest ForceWare 15.0 drivers don't work either. So despite all the
Vista ready logos on my mobo's box I can't even get on the internet to
register the !@#$ thing.

I popped in a Fedora Core 6 DVD instead and it detected my NIC during
setup, allowing me to add some programs from the "extras" repository
before first boot even. It also detected and installed drivers for my
five year old Hauppague TV card which Vista still doesn't recognize.

If only Windows was as easy to install as Linux.
