My desktop running Vista is online and working well. My Tablet running Vista is on the local network and will file share, ect.. But will not go online. I can connect to wirless networks as well but not internet. I have comparied the settings on both computers in the Network and Sharing Center. The working desktop shows the computer/network/internet all woring. The Tablet shows the tablet/network but has the internet greyed out with big red X between the local network icon and internet icon. When I view status of Local are connection the Desktop and Tablet are identical except the IPv4 Connectivity on the working desktop is set to Internet and the nonworking Tablet IPv4 is set to Local. I have tried everything with no good results.

I wish you posted the result of ipconfig /all instead of ipconfig. Assuming it is connecting to local only, try to disable the IPv6 or check this page for more details,

The problem I am having is on the home network as well as at all wireless hotspots I have tried. I can discover and connect to any network, but I am blocked from going on the internet. I can compared all of the setting on the WORKING desktop running vista to the NONWORKING tablet running vista and the only configuration that appears to be different is IPv4 which is set to local on the tablet and to internet on desktop.
Thank You Ron

Netgear FVS 318. Please note I have a desktop computer running Vista and it work fine. The table signs on to the network and can trade files with other network computers, but cannont go to the internet.

you are not getting an IPv4 address via DHCP which could explain the issue. this is computer/NIC specific so one vista pc might work fine while another has issues.

Well,
I am stuck. I have compared my vista desktop to my vista tablet in every way I know with out luck. I even tried bypassing the router and plunging directly into the cable modem with same results. Unless something comes along I will have to reformat and go back to XP SP2.

I figured it out. The driver for the network card on my tablet needed a vista driver update. As I could not get it on line it was showing the nework card having the laters driver and functioning properly. As soon as I updated the driver it would. But I did need to turn off firewall. Well the firewall is now the issue, but at least I can get on line.
Thanks
