Hey guys, I just installed Vista build 5308 and it's working great so far except for one thing. I can see the network and other computers but I cant get on the web.
I checked the IP's and everything looks good, I can even ping the router. Other PC's connect fine.
DNS works fine as i can ping an outside address (msn.com) and it resolves.
I tried disabling the firewall, and defender, and also disabled IP6 in the adapter's setting.
I've tried a 3com NIC and an Intel NIC, with the same results (no problem access local resources but can't get to the outside)
Anyone have a similar problem or have any ideas for me please?

Make sure that your router actually allows your computer through - I solved mine out because my wireless MAC wasn't set on my router.

I'm not doing any kind of MAC filtering on my router and this same machine with XP was able to get out fine.
I've rebuilt this box twice already and have the same problem both time.

Pretty much the same here, I can only surf certain websites on my install. Give this ago, set the ip address to static and see if it makes a difference. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Have you got a DNS Server within Windows Server 2003 on the same network, or does it go through a router then straight to the Internet? If you have a server, that will need configuring. However if you have a router by standard, ensure that your DNS settings are correct and going through your ISP.

i've tried all these sites with no luck either. thanks for replying back.
this is very frustrating! I just want to thank everyone early for their posts!!!!!!! thanks
any other ideas? could there be something security related i'm over looking? would IPv6 have anything to do with it? i tried disabling it, but still won't work.

I am at a lost myself, I guess you could say, networking just sucks in Vista 5308, its the same in Longhorn Server 5308.

Andre, do you think this issue is related to your ISP? i'm using Verizon DSL and I think they have something to do with it.

OK, I can successfully get to the web if I connect directly to my dsl modem and bypass my router. If anyone knows about a firmware upgrade or something that would resolve this issue, please let me know.

DNS settings are correct as i can ping and resolve names (Ping msn.com = ipaddress) with no problem.

"Zack Whittaker (R2 Mentor)" wrote in message Have you got a DNS Server within Windows Server 2003 on the same network, or does it go through a router then straight to the Internet? If you have a server, that will need configuring. However if you have a router by standard, ensure that your DNS settings are correct and going through your ISP.

"Murph" wrote in message Hey guys, I just installed Vista build 5308 and it's working great so far except for one thing. I can see the network and other computers but I cant get on the web.
I checked the IP's and everything looks good, I can even ping the router. Other PC's connect fine.
DNS works fine as i can ping an outside address (msn.com) and it resolves.
I tried disabling the firewall, and defender, and also disabled IP6 in the adapter's setting.
I've tried a 3com NIC and an Intel NIC, with the same results (no problem access local resources but can't get to the outside)
Anyone have a similar problem or have any ideas for me please?

Yay! The answer is: Disable SPI on the router.

OK, I can successfully get to the web if I connect directly to my dsl modem and bypass my router. If anyone knows about a firmware upgrade or something that would resolve this issue, please let me know.

I'm experiencing the same issue. My network adapter is fine, I can resolve, ping, tracert, but can't get out using http or ftp.
My router is a d-link dgl-4300
