    if it is wired up.

    start, search, cmd
    right click on cmd, run as admin

    in the black box, type

    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew

    ipconfig

    note the gateway address, and put that in IE

    e.g. http://10.0.0.2

    Admin EPICROUTER
    I put the above address into IE in vista...and nothing comes up!!!....have done this a few a times before on this Pc without a problem (to change the Epicrouter password for one!!)

    Just tried to connect using a Binatone ADSL 5000 USB Modem from my ISP..

    Installed driver and Vista checked for drivers on disc....still could not connect....
    may have to ring my ISP (Plusnet) for help!

    Also maybe time for a new router???

    just one thing mite be silly put have you got any firewalls on your pc that are for vista and are not vista's own firewall,you can try turning them off ,any thing like mcafee ,norton .
    just that i am us pc tools firewall and it some times stops vista talking to the router so vista say there is no internet or limited and the adapter needs restarting
    there or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff

    when you do the renew
    and then the ipconfig, does your router issue you with a 10. ip address?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    See if this helps:

    1. start, search, cmd
    2. right click on cmd, run as admin
    3. in the black box, type:

    netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

    4. reboot

    If it makes no difference, you can reverse it by doing the above steps again but typing:

    netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal
