Hello,
This problem has been bugging me for a while and I have searched but cannot find a solution.
The only way to get my computer to register a valid wired LAN internet connection is to boot with everything hooked up.
If I decide to disconnect the LAN cable then connect it again the computer will not register that it is attached to a valid internet connection. No flashing lights next to LAN plug, and Mozilla loads automatically in "Offline Mode".
Is this a setting I can adjust to fix this problem? Every time I disconnect the LAN with the computer running I have to re-connect it then re-boot the system to get back online.
My old Win XP system was able to be plugged and unplugged several times with no drop out in net connection, and no need to re-boot.
System is a new Acer Laptop with Factory Win 7 loaded. Internet is via wired LAN and is a high speed and stable connection.
Thank you,
