Wireless network

Posted: 07-12-2006, 11:11 PM
My notebook (running Vista) connects to my home network with no issues.
At work I connected just fine this morning, then after the notbook went into
sleep mode at lunch I started having problems.

The network systray icon showed as "Connected: Local Only" with all green
bars lit.
The Network Centershows a connection to the wireless AP then a red X to the
enternet.

Clicking "Diagnose Internet Connection" proves to be worthless (tells me to
move closer to the access point) A XP laptop nect to the Vista laptop
connects fine. (no more than 10 feet from the AP)

The IP that it has is 169.254.231.141 and it should be 192.168.1.XXX

Please help if anyone has any ideas. Thanks

P.S. What the heck happened to "Repair" when you right click a connection?
I want it back!

I have a laptop with XP Pro and have networked a Vista laptop through the
wireless router. The XP Pro is connecting fine to the internet but the Vista,
although it can see and is connected to the wireless network with excellent
strength, cannot connect to the internet. Help! Am going mental trying to
figure it out!

I had the same issue... I was getting mad. Even I was able to get connected
in other wireless devices except mine.

I always got an "Unidentified network - Local Access Only" message with my
WRT54G Linksys wireless router. I tested everything you can imagine, but the
final solution was... buy a new router. And now, everything works perfect.

If using static IP, can you can connect to the Internet? This search result may help too,

How can I see if someone has "hacked" onto my network.

I have looked there-but it doesn't even show my roomates computer on it. She
could be in the same room as me logged onto it and it won't show up, it just
shows mine

That's a pretty vague question but if you go into your router's
configuration screen it will show the machines which are connected.
Refer to your router manual for how to do this.

I have a building next to my work and it has DSL. I try to hook up to the
wireless internet which shows up on my vista laptop, but it says there is a
problem connecting to the wireless network.
