Try:Hi all,
I did upgrade Vista home premium 32 bits to Windows 7 with no problem and internet was working fine (3 days ago). Yesterday an automatic update installed itself and after reboot I lost all internet connection. I can see my routeur and an other PC in my home network (other PC has internet fine) but it says I have no internet connection, wired or wireless. I also try to use ipconfig/all to check my MAC address and found out it is now 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-E0, which seems weired and I think it may be the problem. But what do I know... I looked online for hours to try various fixes found on various forums but nothing worked so far, so I decided to ask for help directly.
What can I do?
Thank you in advace

Yes, that is I believe a form of the Bonjour service complete with mdnsresponder, which gets installed sometimes as part of an Adobe software product install like CS3 and such, I believe it's safe to set it to manual, or even better disable, I haven't heard of any negative impact when doing either.Hi, thanks for your help.
The fact is, 2 days ago the pc refused to boot past the first Windows 7 logo. Just black screen. So I did a system restore and it went fine. Then Windows 7 did an automatic update and that's when I lost the internet connection.
What I did today was :
System restore again. Same as before, Windows worked but no internet connection.
I followed an other thread advice and went to services.msc. The first string, which was something like ##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B87 9762 ##
I clicked on it's properties, and change the service from Automatic Start up to Automatic (Delayed Start).
I reboot the pc and it all work fine for now. I restarted a couple of time, downloaded some automatic Windows 7 update, and it seem stable.
I hope that's it. I wil post again if more problem occure, which is possible because I have a lot of trouble since I installed Windows 7 (next time I keep the system the way it work, even if I miss the free update...)
Thank you
