    Odd network issue

    This one is a little weird, on my home PC (that's running Vista 64 home premium), it sometimes fails to connect to the network properly on bootup.

    As far as I can tell it's a DNS issue, I can get to my home page (Yahoo! UK & Ireland), but trying to navigate beyond the front page fails, as does loading any other pages. The only way I've been able to solve it means I have to reset the machine.


    My home network's fairly simple, a Belkin Wireless ADSL modem/router, which I use MAC address filtering on and DHCP to assign IP addresses, DHCP lease is set to "Never Expire". The only permanently connected item is the printer, which I've manually assigned an IP address above the range I've allocated for systems (assigned .2 through to .200 to the DHCP)


    I also note that the IPv6 is always displayed as "Limited", I presume that it's a case that the router isn't capable because it's a fairly new standard?

    Re: Odd network issue

    Are you connected via wired or wireless? When you have this issue are you able to ping your router's ip address? If not it's not DNS...

    Sorry! Should have mentioned, when this kicks in I can't even load the page for the router and pinging anything comes back with "General Failure"

    Re: Odd network issue

    It's not DNS then. How about if you do a repair of your network connection? (again - wired or wireless?)

    Also what happens if you disable ipv6?

    How about if you temporarily set your machine with a static ip?
