Problem solved but not entirely explained. It turns out there was a switch between my system and the router that I didn't know about. I confirmed the router worked, I confirmed the modem worked, and was stumped, but changing ports on the switch partially fixed the problem. I say partially...

I've been trying to solve this for about six months now, with no luck. I do not have any of the offending services on my system. So far, I've only been able to determine two things that seem relevant. One, is that on fixed IP, the troubleshooter detects no problems (even though connection...

Also, doing an ipconfig /renew and produces this:

What does it mean to do an ipconfig /renew and get this? And is it the same problem? (My router is linksys)

We've already determined that it is logically impossible for any one specific update to be at fault. Anyway, to make a long story short, the circumstances making DHCP unusable have been removed, and the network is now DHCP. All the other systems on the router, both wired and wireless...

Torrentg's self-importance aside, we're still not any closer to getting this problem solved.

Anybody? Anything?

By the way, do you guys know of any other places that I might be able to find help on this? Oh and what does turning on "network discovery and file sharing" from clicking on the bench at the top of the Network and Sharing Center do? Could that have something to with the problem? 'cause it seems...

As I stated several posts ago, I already tried that. I can access the router (by putting the IP adress in as a URL) from every computer except the one I'm having the problem with. That was one of the first things I checked. So, no, it's NOT. THE. ROUTER. How could that even be possible, though...

DHCP is disabled on the router. We can't use DHCP. Period. Okay, I'll check the computer I'm posting from right now. How do I do so on WindowsXP? It's never worked on anything other than set to Public. I tried to set it to the other options when I initially configured the system but the...

I have ALL updates on automatic download / manual install and none of them have ever had anything to do with the network adapter. Of course. How? Could you elaborate? (My Network and Sharing center at the moment shows <Computer> -- <Bench> - <Red X> - <Gray Globe> ) No, it doesn't. It shows...

Alright, well I don't have any way to get the output from that computer onto this one so I'll have to type it manually.

How do you go to command mode? I'm not running anything of the sort, My windows 7 system is about as clean as systems come. I built if from the ground up and kept it pristine. It has no superfluous software on it what-so-ever. We already ruled this out. The router is your standard linksys...

We've already established that. It's not the updates themSELVES but something in the update process DURING the required REBOOT, not before or after. This is supported especially by the fact that this is the THIRD time this has happened with an Update Reboot, so its logically impossible for any...

Took me a moment to find it, but yes. the NlaSvc with the description "Network Location Awareness" is listed as "running".
