corydoras 454 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Sorry to tread Cory. It's also worth pointing out that in the output from :Game shown here: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Game Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : Belkin Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Belkin Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1B-B9-BB-4A-D3 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::5d3:afdc:1c3:f23d%8(Preferred) IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.5(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : 17 November 2008 17:51:54 Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 17 November 2009 17:51:54 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1 DHCPv6 IAID . . . . . . . . . . . : 201333689 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled that the router is working properly as it has given the local wired adaptor an address from its DHCP pool. I would untick IPv6 in the properties for that adaptor. Also it won't hurt to change the DNS servers on the adaptors to 212.139.132.27 primary and 212.139.132.26 secondary as already suggested. To do this you would have to use the same ip address and subnet mask but tick > from obtain an ip address automatically to > use this ip address. Been there, done that. Have even manuall entered IP addresses etc. The machine will ping hosts by address and by name, but will not connect to web servers using IE. IE just times out. I haven't even tried wireless yet, not much point if it wont connect with a bit of 100-Base-T cable. I'm not sure that IPv6 has any role in the problem.

IPv6 tunnels over IPv4 in order to work and in Vista it is on by default. Just tryin to help. Jeff Piscator non solum piscatur. Yellow Prowler13 Ask me at 75... Link to post Share on other sites
corydoras 454 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It would if the NIC were bad. IPv6 tunnels over IPv4 in order to work and in Vista it is on by default. Just tryin to help. I know and glad of all the help i can get. I'm nearly bald by now. The thing is that this vista PC gets a valid ip address, can ping local hosts, default gateway, www.anglersnet.co.uk, but refuses to connect to anything with a web browser. The same thing happens whether it is the onboard NIC or a USB 802.11g wireless nic. The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.Vaut mieux ne rien dire et passer pour un con que de parler et prouver que t'en est un!Mi, ch’fais toudis à m’mote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff S 0 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Strange that it acts the same way with both NICs. Since you get a reply from AN, can you tracert from the command line and see how many hops? Not that it matters really. It would be interesting to see what the traffic looks like at any rate. Have you ever used wireshark? It's free packet sniffing software. It sounds like firewall but that was turned off right? Jeff Piscator non solum piscatur. Yellow Prowler13 Ask me at 75...

Have you ever used wireshark? It's free packet sniffing software. It sounds like firewall but that was turned off right? As far as I know the windows firewall is off. I've not tried wireshark but I may download it and have a play. There are half a dozen or so XP boxes and various game consoles. They all connect just fine.
