Vista limited connectivity

this is driving me mad! was working fine till the other day then suddenly it came up as unidentified/limited connectivity and i cant access the internet at all! Been on afew forums and tried things but am getting serious brain drain :( never had this problem with xp!

Is your computer's internet connection wired or wireless?

Have you tried resetting your broadband modem? (Pull out the power lead for 30 seconds, plug it back in and try to connect to the internet)

Do you have firewall software such as Norton? If you do have Norton then try uninstalling it and then try to connect to the internet.

its run on a wireless connection through a bt homehub. I do have norton and after reading another forum i binned it, but there still seems to be something left in the control panel that wont go away when i try to uninstall. I have also done the reset that u suggested and still nothing. :(

I'll lay odds that the Home Hub is broadcasting on Channel 1. They dont seem to work to well if they do
Connect up with a cable, log into the hub and fix it to another channel - preferably one not used by your neighbours. Its probably on "auto" at the moment, which usually means it settles on channel 1

Its not my broadband but my landladys, so can i access that?

better ask her, not us!

But, is your landlady still getting het internet connection?

Charlotte, try the instructions here:

... to disable your existing connection and then try to reconnect.

Yes there are 2 other computers that connect fine, definately a vista problem as they are on xp, but it seems to have sorted itself now, god knows what i did, but it worked! Thanks for all your help :)
