Netgear router not working with windows vista

When I turned on the PC the next day, I noticed that the internet was not working anymore. I told myself that it was no problem, I would just unplug the router and plug it back in because that works all the time. Well I did that and no luck this time. I then tried to turn off the cable modem and router, waited a few seconds, plugged the modem back in and waited for it to load up then the router.

That still did not fix it. I did this several times thinking I did it wrong but it still does not work. I then plugged the ethernet wire right into the modem and it works no problem but I have two other PCs and a PS3 that I need the router for.

I called the internet provider and there was nothing they could do so they told me to call Netgear. I did that and netgear couldn't help either and said that my PC was fryed and could not access internet. Well that was a lie because my PC is not fryed and has no issue getting into the internet when I directly connect it to the internet modem.

I checked all the wires and they seem to work I'm not sure what else to do. The router works I think because all the correct lights are on. Sign in to vote. I am unable to connect to the Internet within Vista build: but can do so fine under XP. I tried disabling SPI, but to no avail. I tried disabling Windows firewall, but that did not work. I deselected the Ipv6 and topology? I even tried entering specific addresses in the DNS area Finally, I combined all of these fixes, and nothing worked.

My concern is that I cannot activate Vista, nor can I send in feedback without my Internet connection. Also, although Vista tells me that I am connected to my network but not the Internet , I am unable to access my router. By the way, I am connected directly to my router not wireless.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give. Monday, July 10, PM. Friday, August 4, PM. MSU" but when I try to install Vista says something like "This standalone update does not apply to your system". Also looked at NVIDIA's web pages and there's a recent chipset driver update, but the installation instructions are like from another operating system altogether. The Device Manager on my installation does not have the same devices named as in the instructions - if at all.

There's no installer package. I guess I have to search for a dial-up modem to get Vista activated and then wait? Some feedback to Nvidia could be ok. It would be nice to know it the updates work for you. Monday, July 17, PM. I had the same problem corrected mine by run netsh interface ipv6 reset Now all is well, good luck.

Saturday, August 5, PM. I upgraded to Vista and tried the above command but I get an error Resetting Echo Request, failed The requested operation requires elevation. There's no user specified settings to be reset Any pointers? My wireless detects the netgear WGT but I do not get internet connection. Sunday, July 8, AM. This will perform the required "elevation" and allow you to run the commands.

I miss xp. I agree with Johan. According to your description, it seems your router problem. I suggest you reset the router and re-configure it to test this issue. Do you have another known router? If possible, you can try to troubleshoot this issue by that router. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Client.
