Well i was getting a bit disillusioned with win 7 as my Ethernet card was not being recognised at all....so today i decided to disable the mainboard card which was the Ic plus ip100 10/100 which i spent the last two days looking for drivers to be run on win 7....i replaced it with a much older d-link dfe 530tx into the pci slot.....and it worked straight away....now i have been reading that i am not the only one having trouble with the ic family plus type card so my sugestion.....Change it......i am quite impressed so far with win 7...it is way better than vista...it is not asking all those stupid permission questions of vista....I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR ......i hated being ask that...i know who i am......so keeping fingers crossed that finally microsoft is listening.....i like the format so far...and this will be a first for me....Keep up the good work Microsoft....bout bloody time.
