With the exception of a wireless pc card in my laptop, all my networking came up flawlessly OOTB.

Hate to suggest what I'm sure you already tried, but you checked your cable? Hub/switch/router?

Remove the onboard nic in device manager and let it reinstall itself after a reboot.

If you have a spare nic laying around, I'd drop that in and see if that picks up correctly.

They rewrote the network...so it's not gonna work with some routers/cable modems. Nothing wrong is with the setup...You might try update your router or cable modem firmware.

I have the testing machine with the same board...and network doesn't work. It worked with Beta 2 build after i updated d-link 4100 router firmware to the latest version 1.6. Now with 5472 build doesn't work again. This is beta 2 stage, and i hope after they're done all the routers will be supported etc...

I have a feeling that Vista might be expensive upgrade...which is not worth because OS itself is not worth of anything. Too bad Microsoft won't port DX10 to Windows XP platform, which i think is a bull****... Add support for SM4.0 is not a big deal having the fact that Windows XP doesn't require any LDDM model or any additional crap to handle OS gui.

I have this strange problem with my wireless card called asus wl-138 on this vista build. Well it didnt work at all on beta 2 but on this build it connects to the network but not with the internet, it says that my card does not support those needed requirements that my AP needs. It worked fine on pre beta 2 and on xp. I use xp driver. Perhaps i need to wait for a newer vista build or for asus guys to update drivers.

I can't get any network access with this build. I'm using the built in NIC on my ASRock 939Dual which has worked fine in previous builds. The drivers appear to install fine but I can't get access with DHCP or manual address assignment. :no:

did you try manualy installing the 2.20 Uli drivers? my onboard Ethernet didnt work till i updated the Uli drivers

Another Asus939Dual user here, and no luck with Vista's network. OCWForums had a similiar discussion, and no one could find a solution. I suppose we'll just have to wait until a new build and see if that fixes anything.

I'm having trouble with my 3com nic in RC1 too. It was working flawlessly in the previous builds but now it's acting flaky, Windows Update doesn't work at all, it says there are some DNS errors now and then, sometimes it says the router is not found, and other times it sees everything.

But while all that is going on I can still connect to sites like Google. It's odd. I can't figure out what's going. I know it's not my ISP since the other computesr on my network can connect to stuff a-okay.

Same problem here. 939Dual and RC1. The NIC becomes "deaf" after a warm restart. It takes a full power-off at the power-supply to reset the NIC.

I've downgraded to two different XP-level drivers from ULi and the problem did not go away with either of them. So I don't think it's a driver issue.

just chiming in with a 'me too'. I have a 939dual and have been having the same problem. seems to happen randomly...sometimes it works on boot sometimes it doesnt. Although it seems if i leave vista alone for a few minutes after it boots that it works. havent tested that enough though to be sure.

MS has confirmed this is a bug in the Uli drivers dealing with DHCP requests.

So one thing i am going to try doing on my next boot into vista is assigning a static IP to the machine. Perhaps if you avoid having any DHCP requests it'll work. I've set my router to always assign the same ip to this machine so DHCP at this point is redundant anyhow.

This topic is now closed to further replies.
