I just built a computer and I am having a problem with vista. I have my Ethernet cable going from my router to my computer, but I can't get it to change from local only to local and internet. Thanks for the help.
I know the router is connected to the internet because I also put a wireless card on the mobo and I am using it. I am not sure about the other two questions.
We need more information specific to how your network card is setup. This requires knowing what the 'pipe' symbol is and does. The pipe symbol is located on a key above the Enter key. It looks like a verticlal line or an stretched colon; | . This will cause the output of a command line command to be sent through another command. In this instance we are running the result of IPCONFIG /all through the Window Clipboard.
Do the following.
1. On a system with internet access start a reply to this post thread.
2. On the system without internet access do the following
3. a. Start a command line interface window: Start > Search (or Run) > type CMD and press the Enter key.
b. When the black window opens up type IPCONFIG /ALL | CLIP
c. Nothing will appear to have happened but the command IPCONFIG will have run and its output will have been redirected to the Windows Clipboard.
4. a.On the system w/out internet access start Notepad and press Ctrl + V. This copies the results of the IPCONFIG into a Notepad document.
b. Save that Notepad document, copy it to a flash drive. Move the flash drive to the system with internet access and open the document. Press Ctrl + A then press Ctrl + C. That highlights all of the text and copies it.
4. Change to the MMORPG.com reply window and press Ctrl + V to paste the results of running the IPCONFIG command. Click the reply button and post the results.
The results should look something like the following:

It depends on what type of internet service you are using and your router setup. Considering you can connect with WiFi but not with LAN connections, then chances are you have your DNS improperly setup. Most routers default have it properly setup. Typically you want your DNS to setup automatically. If its set for manual, or assigns IPs per computer then it might not have permission.
It could be that your devices need to reboot. Just reboot them in order. Modem, Router, Computer.
The other thing it can be is if your ISP does not provide IPv6 support yet. I know many won't until summer this year. Sometimes turning it off will get your internet up. To do this go to Control Panel >Network and Sharing Center> Local Area Connection #> Properties then unclick IPv6. Turn it on again next year as most ISP will support it.
I hope that this helps, remember I am having an unidentified network local only connection through my ethernet, luckily I also have a wireless card in my motherboards desktop that is accessing the Internet.

Your wired NIC labeled here as Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection is assigning itself anAPIPA IP address that is incompatible with your routers setup.
Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing > In the left pane ( the vertical colored area) click on "Change adapter settings" > Right click on the Local Area Connection listing and choose Properties.
Assuming you are using Windows 7 follow the directions at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-TCP-IP-settings to make sure your TCP/IP settings are correct. Follow those directions for both of the Internet Protocol Version 4 and Internet Protocol Version 6 entries in the Local Area Connection Properties window. Make sure the check boxes beside the Internet Protocol Version 4 and Internet Protocol Version 6 entries have check marks in them.
Turn your system off. Plug the network cable into the laptop and the router. Turn your system on and see if it works.

I believe that will resolve your issue. Your IP address should look something like 192.168.1.x, not the the 169.254.x.x stuff. You can also see that the DNS name is not being resolved for the lan line. Good luck.
Is the patch cable in good/new condition? No kinks, crushes or discolorations along its length? Are the RJ-45 connectors on the ends adequately attached. When held side by side do the orders of the wires colors match exactly on each end or are some in different order?
With the cable plugged in to both the router and the computer: Does the router have activity lights for the ports? Is the light for that port on? Look at the network port on the back of the computer. Does it have one or two small leds? If 2 lights, is one of the leds on and the other blinking? Are there no lights on?
Since this is a new build you may also have not installed the drivers for the NIC.
Find "Vista and WinServer 2008 Auto Installation Program (SID:1489507" Select one of the download links to the right. Download, save to disk and run that program. Follow its directions and reboot.

Are you positive the router is connected to the internet?
Are you positive the computer is getting or is assigned a valid IP from the router?
Do you have a valid DNS server defined?

I am using Vista 64 bit does that change things?
and I do have the 4 and 6 ticked and both say obtain an ip address automatically.
No it shouldn't matter.

Make absolutely certain the ethernet cable is good, they are really prone to failing.
