nic drivers

My GMKTEC M7 Pro mini pc consistently shows an empty network folder. Occasionally on a boot it will populate but then contents disappear. Internet access is OK, occasionally takes two or three tries to connect to a site. I recently set up a NAS on a Beelink Me Mini running Truenas Community...

Understanding the firmware versions of devices running Windows 10 or Windows 11 is of paramount importance for users looking to ensure system functionality and compatibility. Firmware checks can assist in the installation and updating of drivers, enable effective troubleshooting, and contribute...

I just got an Acer Predator. I transferred settings from XP using Windows Easy Transfer. The Internet connection was working perfectly. I installed Comodo Firewall, Avira AntiVir and ThreatFire. Then it could not connect. I plug the Ethernet cable into the XP computer and it connects no...

I have a Dell Inspiron One 19. Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I was minding my own business, and rebooted after doing an update to AVG Antivirus, and when the PC came up, it said that the Realtek NIC driver did not install properly. I uninstalled my antivirus and firewall, and ran a...

Hi everyone. Well, the title says it all. After installing the 'Panda 2011' antivirus, it's impossible to connect to any wireless connection. It always says 'limited access', even though the signal is at full strength. The antivirus had been fully removed, but the problem persisted, so I even...

Connecting to Comcast cable modem finally fixed! I am trying to help a lady with Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit on a nice DX4822 Gateway. She had internet connectivity for almost a year, then it faded and stopped. I can connect to the cable modem with no cable connected (not provisioned) and see the...

I have Windows 7 64-bit connecting to a hybrid Windows/samba network. On boot, Win7 takes 1 - 2 minutes to negotiate a DHCP lease; set to a static, it takes about the same amount of time to connect. Other Vista and XP PCs connect in seconds. I have tried: Replacing the switch Enabling...

I have a user who just upgraded from XP to 7 and when we try to view our network they are receiving the error 0x80070035. They are on another subnet outside of my network but have a direct cable connection to my network as well. They can ping any of the servers within my network but when you try...

After a few minutes and a few topic's editions, I figured out what was causing the problem - advanced files uploading on gmail (the option allowing uploading multiple files at once and using Flash to show progress bar). I'm not deleting it as someone else may have the same problem. And maybe...

Hi all, I came to this forum in order to get a solution for my problem. As many know and some would know now, when the drivers are not available for Windows 7, the NIC will just return a APIPA i.e., 169.x.x.x IP. We all thought this is a driver issue, but how do we find whether it is a driver...

On the 7100 build I was having issues where the network would just simply stop working. This same hardware worked perfectly with xp, vista, server 2K3 and 2K8. What happened was I would still be associated to the router but I'd get the little exclamation mark on the signal strength task bar...
