Unidentified network, no internet

Hello,

I've got a serious problem and I'm a bit lost as to it's solution.

My PC (Vista Ultimate x64 SP1) went into standby mode, and upon awakening my network settings were shot. I've only got "unidentified netorks" left, where there used to be a "home", a "Hamachi" and some unidentified networks belonging to VMware workstation. The access is always local only, and I'm unable to communicate with my Linksys WRT610n (wired connection). My laptop is next to the PC (XP Pro SP2) and is also wired to the same router, with no problem at all.

Things I tried to resolve the issue:

* Disable all adapters accept the "Local Area Connection" (onboard gigatbit lan from my ASUS Striker Extreme, NVidia nForce).
* Reset the local adapters
* Uninstall the adapters and let them be discovered by Vista again (using MS drivers and now using Nvidia drivers)
* Reset the router
* Set adapter to DHCP (I normally use a fixed IP)
* Disable the adapter in BIOS and enable them again
* Tried these commands in succession: ipconfig /flushdns, nbtstat -R, nbtstat -RR, netsh int reset all, netsh int ip reset, netsh winsock reset
* Tried a bunch of different drivers

Here's my ipconfig and my routing table:

The question, besides the solution to my problem, is also: where did the network locations I had before go (home/hamachi)? Also, what's this 0.0.0.0 route doing (10.10.10.100 is my router)?

Any help would be very appreciated!

Kind regards, Wilbert

I've managed to solve the problem by disconnecting the PC from the power. I shut off the PSU and unplugged the power cord. Waited about 30 seconds and then plugged the power back in and turned the PSU back on. After the boot of Vista, a new network was discovered and my internet access has been restored.

Thank you for posting your solution, it helped me solve the exact same problem I had with the same motherboard ASUS Striker Extreme. I could not believe it was that simple, I spent hours working on it and tried almost every step you did. It seems the ASUS Striker Extreme has some issue with the combination of Vista Ultimate 64 + hamachi to get the unidentifyed network only problem, since I have those in common with you.
