Unable to connect with iBurst

[gagamel]

Let's begin the little story and I hope somebody more competent than the help desk of iBurst can help.

I have used the desktop iBurst modem for 6months using Vista Basic over the ethernet port. Everything works fine, until one day the connection is not listed under the dial-up anymore. I have tried setting up the connection again, but when it comes to connecting to the Internet, it just fails. Just a message shows up something like "unable to connect" (I'm using a German OS, so I'm translating).
I have tried the same thing using USB and the latest drivers. Same thing.
It can't be the modem, network cable, ethernet card as I can use iBurst without any hassle under OpenSuSE Linux. So it must be some Vista problem...

Has anybody got the same problem under Vista and would like to share the solution for this? Thanks a lot

When you tried your iBurst modem with OpenSUSE, was it from the same PC where you have Windoze Vista installed? - unlikely I know but maybe there is a problem with the ethernet port on your Vista PC, and possibly USB as well - could have had a power surge or something.

Right click on the network icon on the taskbar (bottom right of your display), open "Network and Sharing Center", click on "Manage network connections" check to see if any of the connections are disabled, right click and enable if disabled also check automatically obtain IP and DNS, if this does not resolve your issue go back to "Network and Sharing Center" and click "Diagnose and Repair" - let us know of the outcome...

Thanks for your replies!

ic, I'm dualbooting Linux and Windows from my laptop. I'm not using any virtual machines. And the LAN is working fine under Windows, no problems there...

who.is.michael, I will give it a try.But I think I already tried this. The repair and diagnose program was not able to find it.

Definitely something wrong with your Windoze connection settings for your iBurst modem, don't know what to suggest though.
