First of all, you shouldn't be using Guest. The Guest account is a special system account, not one meant for when you are feeling hospitable. From TechNet: "The Guest account is intended for users who require temporary access to the system. However, if this account is enabled, a security risk may exist because an unauthorized user could gain anonymous access to the system through this account.
Call the new user account something like "Visitor". Second of all, you've left out all the important details about your system. Is this a standalone machine or part of a domain? What version of Vista are you running? Connected thru LAN. This doesn't always work though. Have you tried power cycling your router?

Well, after 4 days, reading and and trying so many posts, i came across a simple solution, so far it is working, let me know if it works for you as well. Today my mothers internet seem to stop working. Her laptop is about a year old and it wasn't making any sense to me at all.

The short answer to my solution was to unplug my CISCO router, plug it back in and the problem was solved. Below is more information about my specific case.
The problem arose on our laptop running Vista when it suddenly stopped connecting to the internet, getting the above messages about limited connectivity, unidentified network. I was still able to connect to the internet using our desktop computer running Windows 7 64 bit not a wireless connection , was still able to connect to Netflix on another TV and was still able to connect to our wireless network and the internet with an iPad.
Researching this issue on the internet, there were many possible causes and suggested solutions. About a week prior to the issue, I had installed Norton Internet Security on the laptop and thought this may be the cause of the problem but uninstalling it did not resolve the problem.
I have reinstalled NIS and it works fine since employing the solution that worked for me. Before finding my solution I also looked at our router firmware but it was up to date and determined that was not related to the problem.
Also tried some of the other ideas related to internet connection properties but again none of those were related to the issue. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Client. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question. Quick access. Search related threads.
