I just did a clean install of 7 (bought a new drive, installed XP Pro, installed Win 7 Pro). It went great. I was able to log on to the Internet fine. I went to bed and when I tried to get on the Internet - no joy. Checked my settings, they looked OK. Checked the adapter, it was OK as well. Ran the troubleshooters and was able to get back on. Closed the Iexplorer and when I went to log on again, no joy a second time. Troubleshooters no help this time. I still haven't been able to get the connection working. I kept my XP Pro drive as is in case I had a problem. I did notice that it sees my card, and an unknown network, but that it isn't enabled for the Internet.
I am guessing it is seeing my "MSHOME" network that is what all the other home computers are useing, but I haven't found a way to add that network. Suggestions?

What does it show in the network and sharing center. Is the first icon a house or a bench?
Are you trying to use Homegroups? What firewall software are you using and do you go through a router?

I wasn't trying to use Homegroups, that is what it set its self to. I haven't set up a firewall yet, and I do go thru a router. I don't know if its a house or bench yet. I will have to change drives to check. I am in the process of setting up a different computer in this room to allow me to run both at the same time.
