My first experience with Vista - can't access web with IE7 "Paul Moore" <pauldotmoore[ at ]pandora.be> 6/23/2007 11:51:28 PM Hello (this is great, I just discovered the msnews server!). My new laptop finally arrived from Dell with Vista installed. This is my first exposure to Vista. The machine is installed with Vista Business. I use a home wired-only network, with two other PCs (running XP Home) and a networked printer attached. My workgroup is named "HOME". I have two problems that I don't know how to solve. All machines are "pingable" from one other, and the XP Home machines have the latest updates applied. - I can't access the internet using the pre-installed IE7. I managed to copy across and install Firefox, and this works fine. Any ideas why this could be? - Also, when I select "Network and Sharing Center", only the new laptop is shown connected to "Internet" through "Network". I supose that "Network" corresponds to my workgroup "HOME". When I click on "View full map", one of the other PCs is shown connected to the LAN (shared maps on this PC are accessible). The other PC (its shared maps are not accessible) and the printer (its shared maps are accessible) are listed under the heading "The following discovered device(s) can not be placed in the map". What does this mean? Can anyone help me? Many thanks, Paul

I think you should call Dell on both problems since the laptop is brand new, they may have some easy fix for you. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html

Re: My first experience with Vista - can't access web with IE7 "Duncan" <duncan[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 6/24/2007 12:33:00 AM On the network map question/view, you should click under tasks - "Why are some computers and devices missing?". The answer is to installed a special file on your XP machines, and the help file points you in the right direction.

Re: My first experience with Vista - can't access web with IE7 "Richard Urban" <richardurbanREMOVETHIS[ at ]hotmail.com> 6/24/2007 12:49:33 AM All computers on your little network must have the same work group name applied. Each computer must have it's own computer name, such as Bob1 - Bob2 - Bob3 etc. Each computer must/should have a secure logon - name and password. Are you connected through a router or are you trying to get to the internet through network sharing, implemented on another computer? A router is the way to go for a network, small or large. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) "Paul Moore" <pauldotmoore[ at ]pandora.be> wrote in message news:uE6asFftHHA.2164[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Re: My first experience with Vista - can't access web with IE7 "Paul Moore" <pauldotmoore[ at ]pandora.be> 6/24/2007 10:56:10 AM Many thanks all, When I try to use IE7, it tries to navigate to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 I get a Google logo on the screen (why is this?), with the message "Not found. The requested URL fwlink/?LinkId=76277 was not found on this server" When I try to move to www.msn.com the Google home page appears (again, why is this?) , but then I can't do anything else. I had already installed the LLTD Responder on the XP machines. I am using a router a D-Link DI-604. I went to their web site to check for Vista compatibility, it seems that no driver/firmware update is required http://www.dlink.ca/products/vista-support/ I'll contact Dell with my problem, and look up those links Thanks again, Paul "Paul Moore" <pauldotmoore[ at ]pandora.be> wrote in message news:uE6asFftHHA.2164[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...
