📎 AI Summary:
A user installed Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and initially had flawless wired internet connectivity but then faced issues with the router not assigning an IP, despite using a static IP configuration. They noted their wireless connections are working for their roommates and tested the Ethernet with a laptop successfully, suspecting a Windows-related problem. Another user commented about Windows 7 networking issues and suggested restarting explorer.exe to regain network connectivity, but the original poster confirmed that method didn't resolve their problem.

Windows 7 clearly has some serious networking problems. I occasionaly 'loose' all network connections and rebooting doesn't help but found I can get them back by going to task manager and 'ending' explorer.exe and then restarting it. Hope it works for you.
