Windows 7 RC not establishing Internet connection?

[MikeMoss]

Hi

I'm running Windows 7RC and it will not start the internet connection when it boots up.

When I installed it connected fine but after the first day it would not.

After a few hours messing around with it I found that if I open Network Sharing Center, and then use Change Network Adapter Settings to disable the Local Area Network, followed by Diagnose this this Connection it will go through the process and then tell my that the adapter is disabled.

If I then tell it to fix the problem it will do so and the connection will work until the next time I log out.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get it to connect on it's own without going through the procedure every time?

I have downloaded the latest drivers for the nVidia nForce 4 network controler. I have checked to see if power management was set to turn off the connection, there are no error messages in Device Manager, etc.

Any ideas welcome, I don't know where to go from here.

It seems to be the network drivers problem. Try to install the latest drivers and check whether the problem continues....

Are you in dual boot ( windows 7 and windows XP ) ?
Try a system System Restore, see if that work

It seems to be a drive issue. You might be having the latest driver but still try to update your drivers. Try the roll back option from Device Manger and under your network adapter. May be the current driver is conflicting with the hardware. Second thing you can do is configure your DNS server setting manually. Instead of windows configuring it automatically try to configure it manually. This may resolve your issue.

Yes I am dual booting 7RC and XP.

I have tried both the Windows drivers and the ones from nVidia.
Both work the same. I see a lot of people are having this problem so I guess a solution will come along sooner or later.

For now at least I can connect.
