Periodic internet problems
While I've found Win7 to be a big step forward from Vista, I am having a particuarly irritating problem... the system failing to connect to the internet at all after a few days' use.
I had this problem a few days ago. It had been working fine but then all connection to the internet stopped (even though it was reporting that it was fine). I eventually tracked it down to a critical update, so a rollback fixed it.
Now I'm having problems again. This time the troubleshooter is reporting that the DNS server isn't responding. I noticed that a critical update was installed early this morning and did another rollback to the previous restore point but this hasn't worked.
Obviously this isn't a firewall issue since all other non-Win7 systems in the house work fine.
Any ideas? Also, how do I turn off automatic updates?
