Cannot Change IPv4 Connection from Local to Internet
Cannot Change IPv4 Connection from Local to Internet
(OP)
Problem:
I have a Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium that will NOT access the Internet when connected to my small home wired (not wireless) network. The IPv4 Connection shows "Local" instead of "Internet and Local," and I am unable to change the "Local" option to "Internet and Local."

RE: Cannot Change IPv4 Connection from Local to Internet
1) Mac Flitering setup on router
2) Ethernet adapter set to a static IP outside range of DLINK
3) Firewall on computer
RE: Cannot Change IPv4 Connection from Local to Internet
Can it connect from "Safe Mode with Networking"?
Has it ever been able to connect to the Internet?
Have you got another location (a friends or relative) where you can test the Laptop out?
Some people have resorted to disabling IPV6 to fix this type of strange problem, so it my be worth a try.
Check your IPv6 configuration
"Disabling IPv6"

Others have had to reinstall Vista to get it going, if you have put much on that might be an option.

and report back with the IP data that it gives out...
if you have NORTON, then uninstall it completely, ergo get rid of the piece of $^"&...
