NVDIA Network Problem only when using DHCP

Hi,

I am having a problem with an NVDIA network connection. The network is MB based 750i chipset.
After the latest batch of updates certain sites will not display certain objects. I have found the easiest test site is YouTube where the video previews are blank and the initial flash eventually pops up Connection Reset By Server. Google and other sites without this kind of information work fine. Also the Pandora Gadget does not work.

If I allow the adapter to use DHCP I have the problem, if I manually set the IP with the exact same information the connection works fine. I have pulled drivers out, updated everything, reinstalled drivers... used netsh int ip reset and netsh winsock reset. I'm not running anything except the windows firewall - that I know of.

I had this problem in Vista x64; but after going through everything eventually it started working. I originally though it was caused by VitrualBoxes Bridging adapter. I could actually get it working check the Bridging Adapter and cause it to behave exactly like this. However, unchecking it did not always fix it, it sometimes required reinstalling the drivers.

My x32 installation (this is a dual boot machine) doesn't have VirtualBox installed. I'm guessing it's something behind the scenes in the bindings; but I'm at a loss.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

Hi sulldawg,

Welcome to Vista Forums!

Although it sounds like you did some of this, please go to and follow the instructions in: http://www.vistax64.com/network-sharing/284688-network-posting-tips.html. Even those parts you already did (at least some of them), do so again using the batch file to make sure it includes everything (and it can't hurt to do it again).

When creating the IPCONFIG /ALL screenshots, please do so both with and without using DHCP so we can see how they differ when it is and isn't working (you may need to include multiple images to capture everything and please be sure to label the files so we know which ones apply to which circumstance).

Thank you and good luck!
