Hi guys.. I just bought a sony vaio with vista 64bit and i have encountered a problem with regards to wifi..

I set up the connection as usual, but to my horror, whenever i on my laptop, it can't connect to the internet automatically.. It will show limited connectivity or unidentified network.. I need to disconnect it, manually connect it to the internet..

Sometime when left on idle or halfway on internet, the connection will drop out as well.. However, i have no such problem with the compaq laptop of mine.. It will auto connect to wifi..

I read quite a number of post but i do not know how to solve it still.. I dunno much of the technical terms..

So hope can get some help from you guys here.. Thanks in advance

Hey mint_hippo; welcome to G2G

This issue can some times be caused by IPv6; try disabling IPv6 and see if the issue persists.

Step 1 - Disable IPv6:

• Select Start
• In the Start Search field type ncpa.cpl and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
• In the new window, right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.
• In the This connection uses the following items section, remove the tick beside (i.e. disable) Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then press OK.

Please let us know if the issue still occurs and we'll look at other possible causes.

Hihi..

Didn't know of such a nice forum till todae.. Will be another forums beside hardwarezone that i will be visiting.. =D

Yeap.. I tried this alternative already since one of the other thread say it works.. But it does seems to be the case of me..

By the way, my compaq notebook with vista 32 bits has IPv6 on also, but it works fine, auto connect to wifi whenever i turn it on..

So i reckon where does the problem lies with.. I have mcafee anti-virus installed.. Will that be the prob?
