Question

I just recently boought a WNR834Bv2 RangeMax Next Wireless-N Router to replace my old one. Now on one of my computers running Windows Vista it says "Local access only". The router is connected to a Windows XP computer. I have three other computers that work over the wireless internet, one is a Vista, one is a XP, and one is even Linux and it works. The one not working is a HP m8120n desktop with a D-Link DWA-130 network adapter. It have gone under the "veiw status" for the Local conection and it is reciving at around 160 Mbps. I have tried rebooting and reinstalling my hardware but nothing works. When I try Windows Repair and Diognose it says "cannot connect to primary DNS". Thanks for reading, hope you can help.

Here is my IPconfig

Hi Tanm

If you look at your 1st post IPv4 192.168.1.3, the wired post is IPv4 192.168.1.2, the last post is a wireless connection IPv4 192.168.1.3. Why its not popping up as an IP conflict is because in Vista they have TCP/IP v6 ( its not in use yet, thats why I asked where you are as it is testing in some areas) I'm in Alberta Canada and my settings might differ from your area. Anyway to fix your problem on the HP Vista computer I would go to control panel > network connections > right click wireless network connection >uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).
Turn off all computers and router, wait 1 minute turn on router, bring computers on 1 at a time and see if you can connect with all of them, if you see an ip conflict do a releasev and renew on the HP unit.
If you don't move these computers around I would static IP all of them, if you need help doing that post back and I will gladly walk you through it.
Regards
Dock

Lets try this 1st go to control panel>network & sharing center>manage network connections
>Right click on the wireless network connection> go down to properties> Internet Protocol Ver 4 (TCP/IP)click on properties > on the general tab check use the following IP address
192.168.1.10 your subnet is 255.255.255.0 default gateway is 192.168.1.1
in the preferred DNS Server use 192.168.1.1 leave the altrenate blank click okay
Test and see if you can connect now
The IP used might be in use by another computer, as I don't know if you set a range of IPs on the router nor do I know the other computers IPs, so adjust accordingly
post back
Have a great evening

At the moment I do not have acess to another wireless computer but I will in the next hour or so.

Also, what do you mean by where I am?

I turned off IPv6 and nothing changed. As far a putting the computers on static IP, one of them connect to another network daily, would this matter? If it dosent it proabally woulden't hurt to chnge to static. I live in soutwest USA, I don't know if they are testing IPv6 here.

I tried what you suggested and it still says Local access only.

I don't no if this matters but it says "cannot comunicate with primary DNS server, The network doinostics pinged the remote host but did not recived a response"

Sorry to take so long getting back to you, I have a big networking job to do next week and its taking up too much of my time. I had a similiar issue like yours with one of my customers, after trying everything I could think of we decided to do a complete formast reinstall and everything works fine now.
I hope we don't have to go this far with your issue, I will print off all your replies etc. and review it this weekend, hope to solve it for you early next week
Have a great weekend talk soon

I ended up returning the previous roughter and buying a new one. The new one work. Thanks for all of the help though Docktor D, I really apreciate it. I now know the first steps in trying to fix networks.
