I must drop in a vote of extreme satisfaction with the Vodafone tech support guys. To my mind, all of that says that the problem is:Ĭan anyone help? Vodafone are stumped and it is driving me crazy. I can use the VMC to access the internet just fine, and it has not affected the wired connection at all (I am STILL typing this from the wired connection!). I have installed the VMC on the desktop that uses the wired connection to the router (Marvell Yukon Gigabit).

All of the desktops are running Windows XPSP2. All of these are working fine (I am typing this from the wired connection). I have three other computers in my house, all connected to the internet via the same router (2 wireless and 1 wired).

That is, ping fails if I use a web address as the target (eg, "Ping I have removed or disabled all the anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall software on the laptop, including Windows Defender and Firewall, but no change. I can ping anything in the world from the Vodem connection, but only if I use an IP address. Worse still, the VMC stopped supporting an internet browser session.
Unfortunatley, yesterday the cable connection stopped responding to the router-reboot trick. Ugly, but at least I could work and could still debug it with Vodafone tech support. But then I found that if I re-booted my router the cable connection would start working again, at least until I re-booted the laptop. As expected, as soon as the VMC was installed all the other network connections stopped working.
I have been dealing with Vodafone 3rd line tech support over the last few days, and re-installed the VMC so we could try a few things. If I do this, then everything all my regular NICs and network connections start working again just fine - which kind of rules out the router/ADSL modem and cabling as being the cause(s) of the problem. The only way to fix the problem is to perform a System Restore to the restore point immediately before the VMC was installed. These problems persist, even if I uninstall the VMC software. if I set a static address on a network connection through Properties/IPv4, then I can ping local devices (eg, router, printer, other computers), but I can't ping the internet side of the router or any of the public web-sites.
none of the network connections are accepting DHCP IP addresses any longer (they all have a 169.254 subnet Microsoft default address) and.I can't get internet access through any of the regular network connections.all of the network connections (wired and wireless) are reported by the Network and Sharing centre as "Local Access Only".Once I installed the VMC software, all my other NIC's stop working. Then I puchased and installed a Vodem (Huawei E220) using the VMC software v9. Everything installed fine and was working well. I regularly use three different NIC's: all of both the on-board cable LAN (Broadcom netXtreme Gigabit) the on-board WLAN (Intel PRO/100 3945 ABG) and a LinkSys WPC300N PCMCIA card. I have an HPnx9420 with Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
