IPv4 Network Connection
I seem to have lost my IPv4 network connection. Am using Vista/Orange/Speedtouch modem with BullGuard anti-virus.
My Control Panel/Network connections/Orange status shows IPv4 'not connected ' as does IPv6. However, I am connected with something called 'media state ' and can use the internet as normal. Any clues as to regaining IPv4 ?
thanks

I've just figured my problem out re Vista as in a separate post.
Google
Vista unidentified network problems.
watch the 2,240,000 hits come up.
begin 2 days of messing about.
OK basically I found my problem revolved around remnants of norton/symantec trialware that I couldn't remove using uninstaller so download the tool from the Symantec web, when complete do the same with zonealarm firewall and restart with normal firewall in place.
It seems there are a number of small bugs especially regarding DHCP and routers, and NIC cards in Vista. It's a case of step by frustrating step until you get there.
