Wireless Network - "Local Only" problem?

oceanscape

Hi everyone, would really appreciate some help because this is driving me crazy!

I have a TimeCapsule connected to an iMac and 3 windows Vista laptops which run wirelessly off of the TimeCapsule. 2 of them are absolutely fine, but one of them connects to the network but remains with "local only" access and for some reason cannot connect to the internet. If I plug it into the TimeCapsule with an ethernet cable, it works fine, but wireless still remains "local only".

I have tried updating the wireless LAN drivers and they are now the newest available. I've tried switching the TimeCapsule off at the router and re-setting it, but still no luck.

Any ideas for what I can try? Thanks!

In the airport utility try changing the radio mode on the timecapsule.

Give this a try:

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows Vista.

Start, All Programs\Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

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

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

Hope that works!

Sometimes a simple disable and enable of the connection will help

Thanks guys, but unfortunately none of that fixed it.

I just don't understand it, because the other Vista laptops are fine - and this one works when connected by ethernet, just not wirelessly.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless adapter, and updating the drivers, but still not luck

Any other ideas?

It has the PC connected to an "unidentified network" then a red cross between that network and the internet.

The unidentified network is listed as "local only".

Thanks for your help.
