Hi,
I have just encountered a problem that I have been encountering on and off since Windows Vista, I rebooted my PC, before the re-boot I had an internet conenction working fine, now I have no connection through wired, but if I enable wireless all works fine. Previously when I had this problem I found that for some reason Windows decided to add an ip or subnet address to my ipv4 but not this time.
I have just tried booting my PC into Linux and connected to Wired connection with no problems (I wish I know why Windows takes about 30 times longer to give me an internet connection)
Since this problem has been occuring it has occured on both PC's I have had during this time and I have recently changed my router from a Netgear to an Edimax 10/100/1000 router and put new cables in so I don't think the problem could be cables and hardware (anyway as it works fine in Linux to me it says Windows!) any ideas.
Thanks,
Gavin,
