Network problems..
Hi.. I have been using this Windows 7 for three weeks now.. This is the best OS I have ever tried and looks cool etc.. But this network is acting stupid.
When I installed this W7 the network worked properly, but the problems appeared when my friend installed W7 (we live together) which made our internet flip. Same time one XP-box was working correctly. Most of the times only one of us (Windows 7 users) had working inet connection.
He got tired of it and went back to XP, and now he has working internet which leaves me the only W7 user in this network. The problem is that sometimes my network just disconnects. I have tested with DHCP/whitout (sometimes it works with different settings, sometimes not). Couple days ago the inet told me that I have incorrect DNS -servers (I have correct) and I discovered that "routing & something.." service was disabled, and enabling it made me get internet access.
When I reboot my computer, it connects to "Network 4" (Network 2 is the place I get inet) and I have to reboot routing service to get it to connect Network 2. The icon in the tray has the red X on it but I'm still typing here.
My network includes this computer, 2x Win XP computers which all are connected to a D-Link router which is connected to our cablemodem box.
And another thing.. When I do ipconfig /renew (or some specific thing) it says file not found.. It must have been corrupted somehow, cos it worked early on this computer.
So how can I use this OS with fully operating internet?! Because I would really like to..
