Unresolvable Unidentified Network / No Internet Access
I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue, as I've tried every online post about this issue that I can find and it's still not resolved.
I just installed Windows 7 on my PC. I did a clean install and my old system was Windows XP. I haven't installed anything on Windows 7 yet except for the below mentioned. Also, my internet works fine when XP is installed on it. Here is the list of things I've tried to be able to get online:
I've deleted the network adapter and let windows reinstall it.
I've updated the network card adapter to the lastest version. (it's a
marvell yukon 88E8001/8003/8010)
I've updated my motherboard's bios to the newest version.
I've updated my motherboard nforce chipset with the latest drivers.
After noticing that my computer is assigning an ip address of 169.254.157.90, I set a static ip to 197.168.1.9, set up the DNS servers, etc. that still did not work.
I've tried disabling the IPv6.
I've disabled the IP helper in services,msc
I checked for the service that adobe and itunes installs (which aren't installed), and it wasn't there.
I've manually set my network address.
I've updated my router's bios to the newest version.
I've tried connecting to the internet directly through the modem, without the router.
I've disabled the Windows Firewall.
I've edit my registry to change my DHCP Broadcast Flag.
I tried connecting the cable modem via usb but there doesn't appear to be a driver supported by windows 7 for my Ambit U10C018 through usb.
I've tried ipconfig /release and then /renew. I've also tried the /flushdns
I've tried disabling and reenabling the network adapter.
I've tried pinging the router and other computers as well as google, usually nothing gets out, but a few times it just times out.
I've watched my attached devices in my routers page on another computer and I do see the windows 7 computer try to connect but drop out.
And I've tried many combinations of the above mentioned.
Any other ideas would be appreciated, I may just try to purchase a new nic card and see if that helps.
And I should mention, I was able at one point to connect to google, but it disconnected me again before it finished loading the whole page and I haven't been able to get to that point again. Also, it does show that I connect to an Unidentified Network if I let the computer sit long enough and sometimes it will say it is connected to the internet, but I can't actually load any internet pages.
