Windows Vista : anybody tell me Local Area Network (LAN) which type configure in Windows Vista, I tried many time but same as per windows XP , Let me tell you that I m using a LAN connection for my computer where DHCP is enabled… How can i configure my computer to use this connection … I m getting the IP address n everything… I m using a HP pavillion 9000.. When I ping n run ipconfig /all command … my computer is getting the ip address…but no internet… I can see it’s sending bites but no receiving ..What could be the possible reason.??? .. I even uninstall some security programmes.. like hp advisor, Nortron antivirus.. then i reinstall the windows vista .. It’s still not working… Please help me how to fix this problem. I did disable the firewall. I m sure that There is sumthing in windows vista which is not allowing this internet traffic to come into the computer… I did check the TCP/IP settings n matched with another guy as well they were all fine. I’ve checked the Proxy Settings are fine also… Please help

Many thanks

NK, try the following
- see if you can "ping" one of the other computer's IP, then see if you can ping the Default Gateway
- Make sure you have the same DNS address as the other guys, trying and ping those too

If you have the same Default Gateway and the same DNS, and you can ping other computers (including the above 2) then your connection is blocked by the network admin.
