Wireless works, Wired doesn't.

eroux77 · 05-02-2009, 06:59 PM

I just installed Vista 64 and now my wired connection just gives me "unidentified network". Although, when I installed my wireless card to my desktop, I can surf the net just fine. Tried several things to include resetting the adapter through Windows Diagnostic, setting the IP address manually, updated drivers, and resetting winsock. So far, nothing.

My router is a fairly new Belkin, but I don't think it is that. Wired doesn't work when connected directly to the modem either. All other computers in the house are working fine.

Here is my "ipconfig" with the wireless adapter disabled...

OK, problem solved... for now. For some reason, I needed to enable Internet Connection Sharing. Go figure.
