The two main variables different therefore are the routers mine is a Belkin F5D and whether the OS is 32 or I just don't want to go down this alley if it is a client end problem on my Vista Microsoft Windows [Version 6.

As I mentioned the connection from this drops on a regular basis to local and then reconnects. A couple week ago I had the vista local access problem aswel.. I tried all the suggestion on this thread and nothing fixed the bug. But now, I solved it on a crazy way. This is what I did: In the running Vista I grap the electrical plug off my pc..
Wait ten seconds and put the plug back. Start the pc in normal mode and I get a normal ip from my router. I hope this solution will work for others! For some odd reason IPv6 on vista seems to be quite a headache to a lot of people my crap-o netgear router included. Hope this works for you. Hi there, I got my new computer a few days ago. It is a Windows Vista 64bit Machine and it has Service Pack 1 on it and I have literally tried everything to try and get my internet connection going and nothing works.
I have tried various suggestions here, I connected Belkin and they gave me a guide on reinstalling a new driver, I have tried everything I can find and it will still not connect wirelessly. It connected when I took it downstairs and used the cable, but apart from that, nothing. I really don't know what else I can do apart from throwing it out the window and hoping that might knock some sense into it. I'm having a Vista Local Access Only problem as well.
Mine is a little different though so I'm not certain if I should have started my own thread or it is ok here. Anyway, I provide tech support for a small company.
One of my users has a Toshiba Portege M tablet notebook running Windows Vista Business bit that is approximately 2 months old. It is connected through a wired LAN connection at an office with several other computers. Some of them are wired connections and some are wireless. None of the others are having problems. The computer worked fine, until this past Monday.
Ever since then, the network connection has been "Local Access Only". It is connected to the network though as the computer can access files on the server, including e-mail. As some of the threads here suggested, I've tried removing the battery, disabling IP v6 and the autotuner.
None of them have resolved the problem. By uninstalling the network card and allowing Windows to reinstall it, brings the internet back, temporarily. By the next day, it was back to being Local Access Only. Toshiba technical support was no help - the woman I spoke to did not even know that Local Access Only was a common issue with Vista. The one thing she did tell me is that there have been alot of Windows updates lately and that as these are installed, they could be overwriting the existing network drivers causing us to have this error.
In some ways, that seemed logical to me, as the computer did work fine at first and uninstalling and reinstalling the driver resolved the issue temporarily and the machine is still downloading updates. However, if it were overwriting the drivers, wouldn't my user have been having problems with more then just the Internet? I got the impression that she knew very little of computers herself, but could read information to me off her knowledge base real well so I don't know whether there was any validity to what she told me or not.
Does anyone? If anyone has any permanent solutions to suggest besides going back to XP, which I've thought about, believe me!
Have you tried thoroughly stripping out your AV and firewall software? You may, if you are running Norton need to get hold of the tool to complete the removal. Once done reinstall the network adapter and then reboot. YOu should have a clean connection. Mostly this problem is caused by misconfigured low level software running at startup. Best of luck. Glad to hear that you were able to get the issue resolved.

I disabled and reenabled the NIC. It would give me a Local and Internet, but after a minute, it would go back to local. I disabled IPv6 to no avail. So I reenabled it. I flushed the DNS cache. Still no go. I restarted the ISP modem. I hooked the laptop directly into the modem which worked getting on the internet when entering an external IP address.
But when i plugged the laptop back onto the network, it would show up as local only. I wanted to avoid wiping that laptop clean and installing XP, so for giggles I restarted the router connected to the ISP modem.
Guess what - that worked. I can't believe I spend all that time and it didnt occur to me that power cycling the router would fix the problem. I gotta remember that acronym K. Keep It Simple Stupid. Good luck for those who still have this problem. I have tried everything listed on this topic but I still can not keep my connection.
