Sorry it took me a while to get back to this. Still having issues! Here's my current setup: TCP/IP enabled over NetBIOS. All IP addressing set to automatic. So, the IP address for the Win7 computer is 169.254.20.86 and subnet 255.255.0.0. The XP computer is 169.254.38.71 and 255.255.0.0. Per...

Also, after trying all the above steps, everything is the same. I only have Win7 home, but when I manually change the network to "Work", the icon in the network map changes from park bench to a computer, but still says "Unidentified Network" . Plus if I disable and then reenable the connection...

By the way, does Win7 have to run network over TCP/IP? My XPs can run fine on the internal network through NWLink NetBIOS only.

I tried the article, but still no luck. If I want to try static APIPA on the Win 7. What should I try? One of the XPs has IP add 169.254.38.71 and subnet 255.255.0.0. So, what should I enter for the win 7: IP: 169.254.38.???? Subet: 255.255.0.0 Gateway: leave blank DNS address: 169.254.38.?????

There are only 5 XP computers, plus the Win 7. And I also disconnected ALL the other computers from the hub, so ONLY the Win 7 was connected to the hub. And it can't see itself listed on the network. Isn't that odd? The network is still working fine for the XPs, so I wonder if I should start...

Sorry for the confusion. In my original post I mention that it is an internal network, no internet access, and another post I said that the XP computers do NOT have TCP/IP enabled, only Net BIOS. I accidentally listed a 192.168.1.nnn address but quickly changed it to the APIPA (I was reading the...

Another update. I have also swapped out the ethernet cable, no avail. Then I thought it was the NIC itself, but I can use it to access the internet (when I cable it to our internet router). So, after typing in various sets of IP addresses, I have some network access but: 1. It still says...

Hi. The updated driver didn't work. Also, all my other XP computers have blank for the default gateway but they are all working fine. So what should I enter for the Win 7?

ipconfig of Win 7 computer shows: IPv4: 169.254.20.86 Subnet: 255.255.0.0 Gateway: blank Adapter: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (driver date 3/4/2010, version 7.17.304.2010). That's the one thing I didn't do was update the adapter driver; should've done that before I troubled you guys! I'll...

Currently I have an internal network (no internet access), with a few XP workstations conencted via a hub, working fine. When I added a Win 7 computer, it cannot connect to the network. It says "unidentified network" and when I run troubleshooter, result is "does not have a valid IP...
