hi guys, I have just installed vista ultimate x64 and correct drivers. I have d-link adsl lan router and I have created internet connection. The connection works however the network icon in the bottom right corner has a yellow flag on it saying "Limited Connectivity". It takes about a minute for for the connection to establish (registering your user and pass...) and then the notification dissapears. I have checked lan drives for the mb, everything is correct, i have tried switching off "allow this device to go to sleep" and IPv6 protocol as per someones suggetion but nothing helps... is there any way i can at least turn off this notification (like in XP) if not resolve the problem? many thanks!

Right-click in that area, choose Properties, uncheck "Network".

You can avoid this by assigning your machine a static IP address.
