Thank for the response!
The problem seems to have corrected itself after the PC rebooted. The DSL
modem was not the problem as other PCs on the network at the same time, this
issue was occouring to the Vista PC, were connecting to Internet . These PCs
are Win XP systems. All the PCs on my home network are using ethernet cabling
(no wireless been used).
The question that I would like to get an answer to is why the diagnose and
repair utlility in Vista never seems to work?
If I replicate the problem with a Windows XP system (DSL modem off when
Windows boots and no IP address is assigned) the repair utility in Win XP
always repairs the connection, gets an IP address and connection to Internet
is restored.
Is there fundamental differences between Vista and XP in the way that the
TCPIP protocol stacks are implement? Could this be the problem with Vista
connecting to Routers/DSL Modems that do not support IP V6?
