Connects while using wireless but ethernet connection fails

[thesnowman123]

Hi guys, I am having trouble with my laptop which connects fine while it is using a wireless connection but when I use an Ethernet cable, it shows "limited connectivity". So I figured it might be a bad network adapter and purchased an USB Ethernet cable and the same problem occurs. The curious thing about this is my sister's laptop has the same predicament(She noted it started around the beginning of May09). I am thinking it might be some windows update or something else? I have tried resetting modem/router(these are both connected to a desktop which is functioning at norm), uninstalling drivers, trying new cables but all to no avail. Please help. =/

We are both using Vista OS, with all the latest updates installed.

Please look at the attached images if they are of any help to the concerning problem. I tried manually updating the Local Area Connection's addresses but they were of no help.

Your on Vista

On Vista; disable IPv6; No one needs it!
There are fine grained controls if you want, but to disable IPv6 without yanking out support overall, globally, you can set:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters]
"DisabledComponents"=dword:000000ff

The Gateway is empty and the IPv6 Client is useless.

I tried disabling IPv6 but it did not help.

I also attempted to manually enter all the addresses(from ipconfig /all) from my desktop connection into my IPv4. But again, no connection. =/

 

[DelJo63]

1) use no manual settings

2) be sure to reboot after disabling IPv6

3) get a command prompt and enter

ipconfig /flushdns
net stop "dns client"
net start "dns client

4) power off the WiFi adaptor on the PC and disconnect the RJ45 from the PC

5) wait 30 secs

6) recable the connection to the router

7) wait 30 sec

rerun ipconfig /all
