No internet connection
Under Network and Sharing Center I show a red X between my inspiron 1520 to the internet wireless router (netgear 802. I am begining to suspect the card in the laptop as I have checked everything and switched it out with a working desktop using the same cables and router. Running the device manager shows a yellow exclamination on my 6to4 adapter. So I removed same and reinstalled and reset
netsh winsock. Rebooted and checked adapter again with the same ugly yellow symbol. Still cannot get on line with the laptop, anything just short of using it for a boat anchor will suffice. Thanks in advance Jack

I disabled the 6to4 adapter and rechecked everything else but still cannot connect to the internet. The Windows Network Diagnostics says to restart the DHCP client service. I have seen this before and not paid any attention to it. What is it? I thought someone told me that it would reset it's self on a restart. Thanks in advance, JackJamaga_2000

Attempted to start the DHCP client and got the following:
Windows could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer.
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

I have the exactly same problem. I hope I can find solution to this with your help...
I suspect that Vista is to blame.

So far is not looking good, at least I donot have the answerHave you tried to connect the laptop to the router with ethernet to get a working connection?
Have you recently reinstalled your OS
If you are still having a bang on the adapter either the adapter is bad, or you might be usind the wrong drivers. As long as you have the bang it will not work
If you have recently reinstalled your OS there is a certain order to driver reinstalltion.

No, the os has not been re-installed, the router we are using is supporting two other desktops with no problems and we have tried an ethernet cable from the laptop directly into the router with no success.Jamaga_2000
