Have you tried disabling IPv6?

Try using DHCP if applicaple, and while on DHCP, do a "diagnose" and choose reset adapter. Then use your static IPs again

Installing the Nvidia 15.23 did not stop the IPv6 error problem from occuring. I still needed to uncheck it in network properties.

ok, confused here chev, are we talking about a gateway error, or an IPv6 error which is probly seen in the event viewer.... ??

More than likely, unless your router uses IPv6, your not going to use it and you WILL see the errors(then of course you HAVE to uncheck that if the errors bother you), but as far as the "gateway" problem... the nvidia drivers should have fixed that for you. Just for my info, are you trying to network your lan USING IPv6?

thread was labeled gateway error, somehow we've gotten to IPv6 error, which unless you DO have an IPv6 enabled router and ARE trying to setup the lan using IPv6... then.... we can go farther into that, but unless that... :confused:

[edit] tired eyes, seen that you didnt start the thread chev, but anyways, lol

I'm running windows 7 (64bit) on EVGA 680i mobo. I did a driver rollback and I think I'm running the MS drivers now. 1.0.1.211 according to the driver properties tab under my network interfaces in device manager. Not sure what other info you guys would need to help me out with this problem.

One note for my colleagues.

I keep seeing people randomly advising to uncheck IPv6 when ever there are networking troubles.

Be aware that the new "Home network" of Win7 can not work without IPv6.

When you use the old way of sharing, you can do without it, but "home network" needs it.

I have IPv6 checked on all comps, my router doesn't use IPv6, and my network works just fine.

And I haven't seen one instance yet, where unchecking IPv6 solved any problem.

If you know of such an instance please show me.

Because if this is really the cause of network problems, MS has a real big problem on their hands, once Win7 hits the stores.

im not sure on specifics with the others

Have you gotten this problem fixed.?
Are you ever going to fill out your specs.?
If you still have a problem, it would be nice to help you fix it.?
It also is a shame that others MERGE into your thread and the problems
is not the same, it might be similar. but not the same.

Others please start your own thread. each persons problems are unique.
believe me .. Computer tech since 1985.

chd

Checking the IP-6 settings is easy. Just open your network and sharing. start>control panels>network adn sharing>adapter setting>properties>uncheck IP-6

Seems like everyone posting in here is having the SAME problem. Looks like everyone is running a nforce mobo/networking controller from nVidia. After some undetermined amount of time of using the internet, sometimes immediately depending on load, the connection to the internet dies. Upon repair via the MS troubleshooter, it says that the default gateway is unavailable and that it fixed the problem. I can accomplish the same by disabling the network controller and re-enabling it and getting a new IP via DHCP or just use a static IP. I was going to give the Vista driver a try as I've read that would help but when I try to install those drivers, it doesn't present an option to install the network drivers. That's probably due to my drivers still being installed? Need to test that some more.

Got some events from the event log when this occurs:

Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

This looks microsoft related but it could just be that Windows 7 couldn't get a name resolution for whatever reason. Does this point to anything?

I figured out a fix. Hasn't happened since I installed the Vista 64 network drivers. Problem is I couldn't install them straight into windows 7 as I didn't get the option to select the network drivers when running setup. I extracted the drivers to a folder and manually specified the drivers in Win 7. Using the 15.25 forceware drivers. Hope this helps someone cuz I was ready to give up on Win 7.

nuggetz,

That worked for me as well. I tried many drivers, but that one is a champ. I extracted and manually installed as you stated. Thanks for posting the solution. :D
