quinriva Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm having difficulty connecting to the internet from within Vista. Firstly vista recognises my home network as an Unknown Network and sets it up as a public network. I have my ADSL router acting as the DHCP server and it seems fine with the other 3 computers on the network (Windows XP/Windows 2003 Server/Mac OS X); however Vista refuses to obtain it's IP from the router. If I force the Vista to use the following settings:IP Adress: 192.168.1.37Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1Then I can connect to other computers on the network, and I can see the router, but I still can't connect to the internet.Does anyone know what could be preventing me from connecting to the internet? I am currently writing this through a Remote Desktop Connection to my Server (Windows 2003) from my Vista machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
