Vista Problems

[mads]

I recently bought a vista laptop in Malaysia. I had no problems getting online access

vis the hotel, airport etc but as soon as i got home and wanted to connect to my Micronet sp3367 wireless router it wont work. It can find the network but it tells me its an unidentified network and it only has local access. So I cant get online which is the main purpose. I had a friend with xp on his laptop and he could connect so I'm really lost here. Im willing to pay for someone who can come out here and fix the problem. Im on Lad prao soi 35.

Pm me with price and when its possible.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Mads

Here's the fix:

You must be sure that your network is Private. Go to Control Panel,

Network and Sharing Center. Find your router and see where it says

(public network)? you must change this to Private. There is blue print

to the far right of the icon for your rounter and it says Customize.

Click on Customize and select Private. Then close out.

Next, go to (same box) in case you closed it out, Control Panel,

Network and Sharing Center. Under the router name, Connection, to the

right of Connection you see Wireless Network Connection (name of

router), then to the right of that you see in blue letters View status.

Click on View status. the Wireless Network Connection Status box

appears. At the bottom of the box there is a box for Properties, click

on it (NOT WIRELESS PROPERTIES). Under the Networking tab highlight

Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties. Under

the General tab, select Obtain an IP address Automatically, Obtain DNS

server address automatically. Select OK and reboot IMMEDIATELY.

When it boots back up you may already have the internet, or you may be

asked to decide on a Private, or Public...select Private.
