Can't understand how i can do windows update and
antivirus updates yet can't connect to a webpage. can't even get
the router page up even though checking it on another pc it
recognises the vista pc?!?
infuriating stuff!

It's not the browser security settings is it?
Tried that. Even put google webpage in my trusted sites as well with
everything turned to low, still nothing. The more i read up on it the
more i'm glad i'm still on XP. Seems as though loads of people have
had problems connecting to the net with vista. Quite a lot of it
stems from the IPv6 protocol but i turned that off.
I'll probably just end up telling her to buy XP. Its not as expensive
as it was.
Have you tried another browser?
was tempted to download firefox or opera with this pc and install it onto
hers but think there is more to this than that (although will give it a
shot). Although i said it downloads updates it appears to be very slow
when doing it. Not sure if this is just a vista thing or linked to the
problem.
Apparently there has been a recent 'silent' update to IE7 which has caused a
few folk (including myself) to have problems connecting.
Its not so much connecting, as it will still show as connected to the
internet (hence why you can download Win updates) but it cannot negotiate
past DNS or something.
After having this problem and trying all sorts of various diagnostics and
command lines with the very helpful "George" on the BT Broadband technical
help line, I managed to get it sorted out with a simple settings change.
I'm on XP and have never used a Vista machine, so you'll have to work out
where these settings are on your version of stuff.
Basically the update changed network and hub settings to a manual
configuration.
All you have to do is plonk it back onto Automatic detection, close IE and
then open it again.
Here its:
Internet Options>Connections>Lan Settings> Check "Automatically detect
settings" and leave the rest unchecked.
Worked for me and a few other people I know had the same issue - It *may*
have been a BT issue where the settings have been over-ridden for whatever
reason. Worth having a look to see if your auto settings are on though.
