Hey I have the same problem. In the Network and Sharing Center it says that
my computer is connected to an unidentified network which is not connected
through the internet. My internet is connected through a NetGear router,
sharing it to both of the computers in my office. I've entered the subnet
mask, IP and everything else manually, but not getting a connection to the
internet. My Xp computer sees my Vista computer in the WorkGroup, but it
freezes up everytime I open it. I'm not really quite sure what the problem
is anymore. When I try to connect to the computer it tries to connect
through broadband. If anyone can help it will be much appreciated.

Hi Dave,

Hard to tell what your problem is. Did you enter the DNS server ip
addressses? Did you try to shut down the firewall? Since you're using a
netgear router you already have a firewall don't you?

I tried entering everything, but I'm not quite sure I did it right. I
managed to connect to a network, but I'm still not able to connect to other
computers from my vista computer or the internet. So I think entering the ip
helped but i think the numbers are wrong. I disabled the firewall on my
router and on vista.
