Vista causes duplicate IP addresses

After installing Windows Vista I get a single network adapter assigned two IP
addresses which causes a conflict everytime I start up. I disable and enable
the adapter and the problem goes away. Then I can connect to the internet.

There is only one single network adapter on my PC. I did not have this
problem with XP. I upgraded yesterday and this seems to be my only issue.

How do I solve this, so I can connect to the Internet without this step?

Thanks in advance,
TG

Upgraded Vista from XP? It sounds as though the recognition of the
network adapter got fouled up. Possibly what would work is uninstalling
the NIC and then reinstalling using Vista drivers, either ones that are
included in Vista or directly from the NIC mftr.

Malke - thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and it still didn't help.
I've tried both the Vista driver and the driver on the internet.

Any other thoughts?

You may want to go to cmd prompt and try ipconfig /?. This will display
all of the IPconfig options. I would suggest you release the IP's and
flush the DNS then renew and reboot.

I am trying to find a permanent solution. If I disable and renable the
adapter the problem goes away. When I reboot it comes back. I have tried
installing a newer driver and it does not seem to help either.

Thanks though,
TG

Sounds like your NIC isn't "Vista Ready". Course, if you uninstall it
and install a new one, you will have to reactivate by phone. I'd go back
to XP if I were you.

Do you have a static or a dynamic IP? are you
using dhcp?

Check the network configuration by going to
Network and sharing center, manage network connections
and check properties. Is more than one tcpip installed?

Do you have a home network? Are you using ip pass-through on
you modem with a bridge connection?

Ad nauseum. Check that stuff, let us know if you still have
the issue.

Vista has numerous network problems. From a marked increase in
generated network traffic to lack of support for many NICs. My guess
is you need to buy a new NIC to get Vista to work.

Marked increase as opposed to WHAT? Have noticed no increase when compared
to my old XP network. The sidebar gadget I use, Network Meter v2.2, sits
quietly at 0.00B/s unless I am actively transferring as does the indicator
light on the front of my Acer. My Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller works flawlessly. You DO know that Microsoft does not write the
driver for the manufacturer correct? Hence again, going back to the need for
signing. Makes them make SURE their stuff works.

You're actually kind of stupid aren't you.
