Read the above. It depends where you live. You could use the open source addresses given in the above link.

I've pointed you to the Device Manager entry and what you have to do there.

so do these enteries need to be added in device manager? where is this found in vista.. and just to confirm will i need to add these to enteries

Primary is 194.168.4.100

Secondary is 194.168.8.100

and will these sort out my ip address issue?

I'm not so confident now. We'd need to know the DHCP server address in the Modem and the IP/v4 address served from VM. But if you can't connect, we can't get the IP/v4 address.

So try this:

1/
In the Command Prompt pane run:

netsh int reset all
netsh winsock reset


That should do a bit of useful resetting on your PC.

2/
Switch the modem off for two minutes then on again. Let it settle and tell us what the lights on the modem are doing.

3/
type in the CMD pane:

IPCONFIG /ALL > Fred.txt

Then open fred.txt in notepad and paste the contents here.

We'll see what's what and it mayt even be working.

The investigative stuff from my last post if it happens again.

Right now there's no evidence.

Good luck.
