I've had this issue for nearly 8 months now. I know its well documented on the internet and even here on the forum but through all my attempts, I've not found a solution
81000306 is basically telling us that it can't connect to the server. I ran troubleshooter and it says my default gateway is down. I've tried everything available on the internet for 81000306 but to no avail.
Furthermore, here's my
ipconfig /all output
code:
E:\wget>ipconfig /all

So WLM wasn't incorrect in bitching about an incorrect default gateway. Here are things I'd like to ask about..
- Why is DHCP showing up as disabled when it is set to take the IPs from my ISP (thus should say DHCP enabled, correct?)
- Why in the world is the default gateway 0.0.0.0 when everyone else gets a default gateway correctly?
A guy brought his lappy here and it worked fine for him. I tried reinstalling my network card driver but that didn't help either
I have tried all solutions I could find for 81000306 and for the default gateway being uninitialised that I could think of and find online. I've tried disabling and re-enabling the NIC as well but to no avail.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I've been without my WLM for long enough
EDIT: I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 x86 with WLM 8.5 (tried a million reinstalls with and without Plus!).
Solving this in the near future would be a great
