How to Fix “Local Only” or “Limited Connectivity” in Vista
*My first video, so take it easy on me @_@* REASON: This tutorial is for the people who ALREADY tried other tutorials to connect to the internet but still have your vista showing local only or limited connectivity, even thought your other windows xp based computers connect without a problem to your router. This solution solved my problem, so I thought I’d share it. WHAT THIS TUTORIAL DOES: step by step instructions to disable IPv6 and so that only IPv4 will function, allowing Vista to connect to older or routers such as NETGEAR MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER ALL PREVIOUS SETTINGS BEFORE USING THIS METHOD!!! WAS THIS TUTORIAL USEFUL? If you REALLY, REALLY liked this tutorial and want give appreciation to poor college student , I ACCEPT !!! *_* tiny.cc
* Mein erstes Video, so nehmen Sie es einfach auf mich @ _ @ * Grund: Dieses Tutorial ist für die Menschen, die bereits erprobt anderen Tutorials auf mit dem Internet verbinden, aber immer noch Ihr Vista zeigt lokale nur oder eingeschränkte Konnektivität, obwohl Ihre andere Windows Xp-basierten Computer verbinden, ohne dass ein Problem mit dem Router. Diese Lösung gelöst mein Problem, so dass ich dachte, ich würde es Aktien. Was dieses Lernprogramm bedeutet: Schritt für Schritt Anweisungen deaktivieren Sie IPv6 und so, dass nur IPv4 funktioniert, so dass Vista Verbindung zu älteren oder Router z. B. NETGEAR machen sicher, dass SIE denken Sie daran, alle vorherigen Einstellungen vor mithilfe dieser Methode!!! WAR DAS TUTORIAL NÜTZLICH? Wenn Sie wirklich, wirklich dieses Tutorial mochte und Wertschätzung zu Armen College-Studentin, geben ich akzeptiere!!! * _ * tiny.cc.

I tried what you told me but I cannot seem to find the ethernet controller? Only the Ethernet NIC. Also it seems my SM Bus Controller says “The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)”. But when I can’t reinstall the driver because I don’t have internet access on that comp. Internet is still local only.

Thanks! I tried so many things and this finally worked for me! Everyone suggests doing the network properties thing, but no one suggests going into device manager! Thanks!

I’ve been trying to figure this out for the last 4 hours and I happened to just click on your video, gave it a shot thinking that my issue was probably going to be deeper than need your suggestion and when I disabled that Pv6 it nearly instantly connected when I unplugged my Ethernet cord from the wireless router to the laptop. Needless to say I thank you very very much.
