Network forgets gateway
I’m not sure how to describe this but I’ve recently had a connectivity problem that is rather odd.
I’ve been using Win 7 since beta without problems.
With in the last week I’ve started experiencing network connectivity loss.
When I boot the machine up either I will have internet access or I won’t. I can connect to anything on the internal network but I can not connect to anything external.
I’ve traced it down to the system losing the default gateway but at the same time not.
See attached photo.
If I do “ipconfig /all” in a command prompt I get:
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
But when I look at the properties in the graphical interface I get:
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.10.1.1
This does not occur every time, it’s random per reboot.
I did a system restore back a week and the issue persisted.
I tried to reinstall the network drivers, still didn’t work.
The workaround that I did find was to uninstall the network card from the hardware manager then refresh and have the system re-install it.
Just wanted to post and see if anyone else had this issue.
Thanks
