HP G50 laptop, Vista os. I have a new ATT U-Verse modem service and I connected fine the first day. The next day I can't get to the internet but I can get to the modem. It says {unidentified network local only}. I can connect to the internet with a neighbor's network. I have un-installed the network adapter and re-intalled it.I can see the laptop address 192.168.1.75 when I look at the modem status with another pc. What can I do to fix this?

can we see an ipconfig /all
there is an issue with Ar5007 adapters and vista - we have an article - and just need the driver

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ipconfig /all

We would like to see the results from an ipconfig /all - post back the results in a reply here.

If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post the results in a reply here.
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here.

If you do not have another PC - do you have a phone connected to the internet - can you photograph the result and post the image in a reply
Note: you will see entries named Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface: we dont need to see that information - JUST the information above those entries

For Windows 8 or Windows 10
To open a Cmd Prompt or an Administrator Cmd prompt from the Desktop.
How to open an Elevated Command Prompt in Windows 8
Use Windows + X Keys together and choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the list.​
Or Right click on the windows icon - bottom left hand side - A menu appears - choose Command Prompt (Admin)[/indent]

For windows version, XP, Vista, W7
Hold the Windows key and press R
Now type CMD
Now press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):​


In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt

It will export the results into notepad and then automatically open the notepad and display on your screen.

Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results into a reply here
to do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
all the text will now be highlighted
Next
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy

Now go back to the forum - goto the reply and then right click in the reply box and paste the results.
The results from the notepad should now appear in the forum reply.

Atheros Wireless Adapter - AR5007EG & AR5007 on Windows Vista


Over the last couple of years we have been seeing a lot of problems with the AR5007(EG) wireless adapters, mainly concerning WPA and WPA2 encryption and mainly on windows Vista.

The wireless adapter gets an IP configuration, and shows as connected, but communication is non-existent or sporadic.

The majority of fixes are via installing a new driver from either the Manufacturers website see item (1) and if that does not resolve the issue then from the atheros web site - see item (2)

--- 1) Download and install the latest wireless driver from your laptop manufacturer's web site support section,

If you post a reply here with the Make and EXACT model of your PC. If the label includes a Service Tag number please post as well. Also what windows version are you running.
we will see if we can find a link to the driver and will post a reply with the link here.

--- 2) The majority of members, have now used the drivers from the atheros driver site, which has resolved the issue.
- see below for direct links for windows vista and the link for all Atheros adapters and supported operating systems
