Windows Vista Connection Status Unknown error
I had started hating Windows Vista. I am not at all happy with the upgrade. I thought this would make my connectivity much better but due to some reason the system just failed to respond properly. I had updated the drivers and installed all that which is required. I am using a 32bit of Windows Vista. The card that I am using in my system is nVidia nForce Controller. Upon reboot i am getting a error that Vista connection status is unknown. This is very annoying. Has anyone got idea on this what is the actual cause behind it.

Do you have any other system to test on that same network. If yes then just connect it and check back. If there is any working computer that you can test it will give you a bit more idea on the problem. I had faced the issue on Windows XP. After troubleshooting number of stuff I found the problem lies with my modem. Each time on start the system forgets the router IP. I changes the modem and things went back to normal. In your case it can be crimping issue also.

I am having a Vista premium on Dell 530 Inspiron. It is juts a few months old. Things were working fine but somehow there was connectivity problem with the system. The internet was not working. I had checked the connection it was active on wifi. Somehow the connection failed on Vista only. Later after running a ping test and I found that there is a constant request timeout error in between. The connection was dropping and there was no clue why it was happening. I had updated nvidia drivers and then it was going well.

Try system restore I think that will help you. And if you are having a desktop then better buy a lan card. There are ample of them available at reasonable rate. I had added one pci wifi card in my system. It works great with my laptop. Both are on Vista. If you had upgraded your system from XP to Vista then this kind of issues are normal. You must get a fresh drivers update and then check back again. There are chances that you get a right update to fix the issue. It is necessary to run windows update also later on.

Try to run factory settings. If you have a laptop then restore your laptop to the time when it was bought. It will put back all the old software and applications which are needed. It is not complicated to do that. You can run system restore also and it also helps in many ways. It is not at all complicated to find solution for the same. But somehow keeping running new updates and changing the drivers will screw your system more.
