G'day,
Most mornings on booting the network adaptor does not seem to work.
I have to disable it the re-enable it to regain the network, sometimes more than once.
Same on two machines.

Any idea what may be the problem?

Well I would start by finding the latest driver for your network adapter.

Right. I'll try that, although I rather suspect Kaspersky, but can't pin it down.

Thanks,

Well you can always temporarily uninstall Kaspersky to test that as well. It's going to be a process of elimination :)

I wonder if it's worth the pain of uninstalling/reinstalling Kaspersky when I now have batch files on the desktop to open and close the network.
Meanwhile, I think I'll pursue the driver search first.
