Went to bed last night and everything was fine. Woke up this morning and now my Win 7 machine can't connect to the internet. I checked for possible updates that might have happened last night, saw that there was 3 and tried uninstalling them. That didn't work, still no connectivity. My WinXP and PS3 connect fine so I think it has to be a problem with Win7. Help...any ideas?
Welcome to sevenforums
Have you tried to run ipconfig in a command prompt. Try ipconfig /release then renew. Try link for instructins.
ipconfig - Windows Command Line Utility
Just tried doing a system restore and no change.
I've pretty much narrowed this down to a problem with Win7 now. I have 2 other computers and a PS3 all with wired connections to a D-Link 8 port switch and they all work fine. It is only the PC with Win7 that is having the problem and it just started after the last windows update. I connected another PC with WinXP to the same ethernet cable and the connection worked fine. I'm currently backing up all my info in case I have to format and reinstall but would really like some ideas to fix this problem. In the event viewer there are a lot of 7000, 7001 and 7009 errors for the following services -> network store interface service, diagnostic service host service, network list service, network location awareness service, winhttp web proxy auto-discovery service, dhcp client service. I have been searching google for possible fixes but have not found anything yet. Suggestions anyone?
