Posted by: Ken at July 19, 2007 9:22 AMHmmmm - is home your local machine or your home router? A good coffee conversation! It gets really weird when you consider IPv6..

Posted by: Johnny D at July 21, 2007 1:19 AMthis is all makes sense, i have a spanner thrown into my works. i'm running a wireless network in my home. for some reason a few days ago my Desktop stopped connecting to the internet. phone my isp and we ran through a number of things. the computer wouldn't run either through ethernet or usb to the modem. there appears to be nothing wrong with the computer tried going bac to a restore point when everything was working and this didn't work there is nothing wrong with the router or the modem as i am still able to connect wirelessly from my laptop, actually what i'm usiing now to write this. but my desktop won't connect to the router or the modem either through ethernet direct cable, usb or wirelessly i am stuck and don't know where to turn now. have unistalled firwall and virus (after doing checks!) cann't see any reason why adawre or spyware would actually try to stop me connecting. does anyone have any ideas?

Posted by: Elbert at July 21, 2007 10:04 AMThe evening after I read this article, two of the computers in my home network started displaying this. I was so grateful I'd read the article because I knew (sort of at least) what was going on. Thanks for all the great information.
Posted by: Christine at July 23, 2007 4:45 AMTobie, try new port on router? new cable? diffrent computer, connected to the router hardwired? Reset your router? manually configure your ip on that comptuer? Run->CMD->ipconfig /release (Enter) ipconfig /renew (Enter)? 30 sec power cycle? Finally Baseball bat, bet u could hit a home run!!!!
Posted by: EdVpNb at July 24, 2007 10:16 PMahhh, the baseball bat.. The first and final solution to all your problems :)
btw, I am my home... 127.0.0.1
