I recently installed Vista Ultimate on one of our office computers. It was a clean install on a primary partition of a PC that also has Win XP Pro. Win XP Pro is on one SATA drive and Vista is on another.All has gone well except for one network connection problem. When I boot I am not connected to the network drives or the Internet. I checked all of the network setup and it appeared correct, including automatically obtaining a local IP from our router. IE did not connect to the Internet, however, if I launch IE it gives me the opportunity to diagnose the connection problem and then to fix the problem. Once this is done, connectivity is restored. Unfortunetly, I do not know what is changed and have to go through this procedure each time I reboot. I have done a lot of searching to try to ferret out the solution to this problem, with little success. The only thing I have come up with is that I have two network adapters, the NVIDIA connection from the motherboard and a PCI Gigabit card I put in later (for a reason that has now disapeared). The PCI card is disabled, but I thought this might cause a problem. I don't really know. Any suggestions to solve this problemwould be appreciated. Eric

I am having the exact same problem. The system shows connection to the local network, but no connection to the Internet. After diagnosing the problem, connectivity is restored, although the system reports that the problem could not be corrected.
