| Unidentified Network in Vista I've a PC,which runs XP, and it works fine. My ISP has given me a static IP and i tried configuring it in vista and still it fails.. I just have a cable modem and i'm not aware of any other settings..Please help At times i get an error and error this IP is already in use by another system in the network. No such problem is there in my PC which runs XP. But this error is not consistent. Last edited by itguru : 29-09-2007 at 01:50 PM. |

Hi - I'm no expert, but have you tried setting the network adaptor to have "automatic IP" and "automatic DNS". I think it could be that this is your network card. I had an "unidentified network" prior to doing this, and then alot of my other problems were solved also. |

| RE: Unidentified Network in Vista
How are you trying to hook the laptop to the internet? And don't just say "with a modem". EXACT details. The error message saying that the IP Address is in use is correct, as it is the same IP Address as the XP PC is using. If you were in a network the IP address of each computer has to be different, otherwise how can they be recognised as different workstations? |

| RE: Unidentified Network in Vista
Many people have this problem. I had the same problem you are having and worked on it for days. I am running a wireless network through an USR8054 with a Verizon DSL Modem. With or without the wireless router I had the " unidentified Network" message with local service only. Here's how I fixed the problem. I was running Norton Anti-Virus for VISTA and uninstalled it. In Norton SymTDI Service blocks you from getting an IP through DCHP on any router if running VISTA. Runs fine with XP, just not VISTA. Symantec has posted no fix. The minute I uninstalled Norton everything worked great. "itguru" wrote: > > I've a cable internet connection at home.

I found the resolution and it was very simple. After numerous tries and nothing working with a variety of tips, I decided to try something and it worked. I am also using calbe internet via ethernet cable. This was where my problem lied. The wireless part worked fine through my Netgear router. Resetting IP and default gateways did nothing so I decided to uninstall the driver for my ethernet adapter, rebooted and installed the driver again. It the was able to identify my router and connected right away. |

Lodogg just joined this site yesterday for the first time to help others with the same problem he was experiencing and needed help. Lodogg who is me, is not a spammer so get your facts straight before you make accusations about me. I am new to this board as of yesterday so don't try to slander me since I took the time out on my birthday to try and help you and others. I don't have a profile set up yet because I have not taken the time to set it up yet. I just wanted to get this helpful tip out to others first and foremost. After coming back today to see if someone found my tip useful I then saw where you Bob accused me of being a spammer which I never have or never will be.
