SOLVED: No Network Access after restart

Hi there,

I seem to be having a very annoying issue with Windows 7 RC. Everytime I restart my PC I get the litte exclamation mark (!) and when I move my mouse over the icon it says "No Network Access" and sometimes unidentified connection.
Then, if I disable my network card and enable it again it works right away... so...

Last night I tried reinstalling because I did not have this problem at first so I thourgt maybe it was me that have done something wrong... However when I reinstalled it was working fine until I installed Microsoft updates and then office 2007 updates.

Could this have anything to do with the office updates?

My system info is as follows:
GA-X48-DQ6 Motherboard
8 GB Kingston HyperX RAM
2x Realtek Gigabit 8111C Family

x64-Bit Windows 7

Do Anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this?

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Well I suspected the office updates from the beginning so that was the first this I aproached...
I restored my system back to before I installed Office 2007 and the I manually disabled Microsoft updates and then re-installed Office again and now it works like a charm!

Hope this could help someone else than me... :)

***REALLY SOLVED THIS TIME! - VERIFIED CAUSE***

Check to see if you have this little devil in your services list:

"##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##"

If you do, stop it and disable it. It is actually the Bonjour DNS Responder Service, and I believe it is the cause of the "Unidentified Network."

The Unidentified Network disappeared after stopping this service and a quick disable/enable of the NIC, restoring Internet access.

I Actually just rebooted, edited this post, and then re-enabled the offensive service to see what would happen...Immediately after enabling the NIC and this bastard service, the "Unidentified Network" returned...stopped it, disabled it, disable/enable NIC...Internet...
THANKYOU!!! halcion1

Your post fixed my unidentified network issue as well.

That service was installed when I installed my Adobe Photoshop CS3 suite or when I installed Quicktime - not sure which one yet.

I have another Windows 7 machine which doesnt have any apple or adobe software installed and it works perfectly.

I disabled that service, rebooted, and the unidentified network didnt come back.

I love this version of Windows. Microsoft really did get it right this time.
 

Thank you!

My problem was:
On boot, i had no internet connection. To fix it, I had to do was go and disable the Ethernet adapter, then re-enable it.... after every boot.

Here's what I did to fix the problem:
I opened Services and set the "##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##" (which is the Bonjour service) to "Automatic (Delayed Start)".

To test it, I rebooted twice, slept once, and hibernated once and haven't seen this issue. It appears to have solved the problem!
 

After reading this post and someone mentioned CS3 Photoshop, I remembered that this problem started after installing CS3 Photoshop. I then uninstalled and problem went away. But like halcion1 stated, I only had to disable(in my case I too did the Auto delayed) option in the services window. In fact, right after I reinstalled Photoshop that service became the first one listed. I think this has something to do with the shared services that are installed with Photoshop.

Thanks for the good information many of you supplied and for letting the rest of us know.

:D
