nic

Hi Guys, I have a Windows 7 PC connected via RJ45 to a D-Link router and a laptop runing Windows XP which is purely wirless but both are in the same workgroup - the laptop and the PC can see all shares that are set up on each other. I have a multimedia streaming device (ICYBOX MP308) which...

Hello, I've installed Windows 7 build 7600 (32 bit) and within a couple seconds to a half hour the computer will freeze up and require a hard reset. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. I could just leave it alone and it eventually locks up. Running programs doesn't seem to make it freeze any...

In XP it was as simple as right clicking the nic icon near the clock and selecting status, why is this excellent and user friendly feature taken away from us in vista and windows 7? Why are we forced to beat about the bush to do simple useful tasks? As a network Administrator this is extremely...

Hello, I am currently running Windows 7 RC Candidate (v.7100--32 bit). I am having some strange issues recently pop up with the use of my Realtek RTL8168C gigabit NIC Card. I have been running this O/S withhout issues for the last 3 months. But just recently I have had connection issues...

Seems that when I try and hit some sites I get the connection manager poping up and trying to connect? when I cancell it the browser seems to get to where it waas going. is this a driver issue? do I need different drivers for my NIC?

Hi all, Having an odd problem which has only started happening with the RTM build. Let me describe the symptoms. Every 5-15 minutes i seem to loose internet access. However, if i have an open connection, in this case a remote desktop connection, it remains working just fine. But if i try...

Does anyone know why Windows 7 seems to handle HTTP requests differently than other requests? Is it possible to disable this? For some reason, whatever it's doing doesn't work well with my any of the available realtek NIC driver designed for Windows 7 for my NIC. Seems like Windows 7 optimizes...

I decided to just post this as a new thread, as it appears to be getting positive results for most people. I highly recommend it anyway, as you will eventually encounter this if you apply all of your updates... For those of you reporting problems with your network after updating MS Office or...

Hey everyone :) I'm going to start off by saying that I know for a fact this is -not- a hardware issue as this worked prior to my install of Win7. :) Just bear that in mind is all. Since making the upgrade to the Win7 RC, things are good. Active internet, use of the system, even tweaks...

I put Windows 7 (build 7000) onto a plain-vanilla Dell Dimension 4600. It seems to have found the NIC (evidently an Intel Pro/100 VE) just fine: Link Removed due to 404 Error ... but I'm not picking up an address from my equally-vanilla Linksys router. With the cable unplugged the network...

Hello everyone, i'm new to these forums although have been browsing through them for the past few months, just haven't needed to post until now. I installed Windows 7 (Build 7100) on my desktop pc as dual boot with my already existing Windows XP. Both operating systems are on different hdd's so...

Tested Win7 beta here at work and it was actually rather smooth. Then came RC1 and it hasn't been quite as smooth. Some issues with RC1: PC used for testing: Dell E4300 laptop, 4GB memory. Beta loaded fine and all the Vista drivers from Dell worked in Win7 Beta without issue. RC1 loaded...

I upgraded from Vista Business to Windows 7 and now the wireless and wired ethernet connection will not work. Windows 7 tells me that the drivers for both the NIC and wireless adapter may have problems. I have a Dell 131L Latitude with Broadcom 440 ethernet adapter and dell 1390 wirless...

I have no idea why this problem has started all of a sudden. I went as far to reinstall COD4 after punkbuster fails to update and I get that API kick as well. The same thing happens with Far Cry 2. But this problem seems to be unique to COD4... Within a couple of minutes of logging into a COD4...

I connect my laptop installed windows7 to my Windows server 2003 domain with DHCP Server installed, it's ok. My IP configuration as below: - Automatic IP and DNS config (to using DHCP Config) - Alternate configuration: IP: 192.168.0.98 / Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0/ Gateway: 192.168.0.1 /...
