    Windows 7 Network Cable Unplugged

    Success! I said "screw you" to Realtek, bought a D-link DGE 528T, CAT 6 cable, and I've got 1gbps, autonegotiate. Doesn't solve the problem, since not everyone can just go buy a new adapter, but what the hell! It works, baby!

    Windows 7 Network Cable Unplugged

    New info: By disabling "Use router as DHCP server" in the router config, the autonegotiate starts working. Problem is, any device trying to connect wirelessly (such as a smartphone), can't get an IP address. So it seems there's a conflict between the router's DHCP, and Windows. I can't...

    Windows 7 Network Cable Unplugged

    So I connected my laptop, using the same cable, to the router, and it works fine. Difference is, it has a Broadcom Netlink Gigabit NIC, while the desktop has a Realtek PCIe GBE NIC. So I'm thinking there's either some setting on the NIC that's wrong (I don't know what), or the router/NIC...

    Windows 7 Network Cable Unplugged

    I tried forcing 1000FD (no HD option available), but no luck. I didn't configure IPv6 - that must be a default or something. How do I disable it? I've reset the TCPIP with netsh int ip reset. Thought that might do the trick. After the first router blew, I was using a temporary one that had...

    Windows 7 Network Cable Unplugged

    I'm sure a million others have asked about this, but here goes: I've had to replace my router. My old router had gigabit LAN ports, and so does the new one. With this one, Windows reports "Network cable unplugged" when my NIC is set to Autonegotiate (Realtek GBEe gigabit LAN). If I change it...

    Windows 7 Please help!!!

    Ok. Got it working. Turns out the accounts have to be EXACTLY the same on both machines! On mine, even though the name was the same, the actual username was not! You can check this by going to compmgmt.msc, click "Users & Groups" on the left, then clicking your account. The first column says the...

    Windows 7 Please help!!!

    I have a desktop running Win7 64 bit Professional, and a laptop with Win 7 32bit Ultimate. They are hooked up to a router (laptop wirelessly, desktop by LAN cable). Problem is, when I share folders on either, the other says "You do not have permission to access". I have modified the share...
