Otherwise, with Dynamic IP, it disconnects every few minutes.. then on Sunday night after hours of fiddling around it finally stayed on the rest of the night... But next day after I got home from work and turn computer back on... Same Same as we say here in Thailand.

Now I have to reset the driver (Diagnose the connection) every 5 minutes or less, just to stay on and post this.

HELP... PLEASE !!!!!

Atheros!!
That was the name of the cards that don't go well with Windows 7, I was looking for.

Thanks for reminding me.

Oh, sorry, you want a solution.

For the moment I guess there isn't any.
You'll have to wait until either the manufacturer or MS writes a descent driver for it.

You need to install the nforce 15.25 vista ethernet drivers for your Windows 7. It was driving me nuts too until I came across a post in another forum.

The solution for me

McAffe firewall was preventing my computer from finding the default gateway. Uninstalled it and used a removal tool and all worked great.

I work at a computer repair store and we see this all the time.

I am not very good with computers but I know how to follow directions pretty well so have been searching and following steps to fix this problem all day. After three hours I found this suggestion and it WORKED. Thank you so much! I didn't uninstall it completely just went to the settings and disabled the firewall and I could see the internet icon in the bottom corner change to show it was working and connected to the gateway! I did eventually uninstall McAffe completely though.

It is so strange though I have had this computer for almost a month and it was connecting to the wireless internet fine. The firewall was turned on the whole month so I wonder why today it randomly decided to do this? Lol Oh well just glad it's fixed!
