Windows 7 says no network lead connected.
I upgraded my pc to Windows 7 and everything was working fine for ages. A few days ago I noticed that the network icon had the red cross going through it, which always meant there was no lead connected. Even though it has the red cross going through it I have internet access and if I place my cursor over the network icon it says Internet access. I uninstaled the network adaptor in Device manager and rebooted the pc. Windows reinstalled the adaptor and it was fine. The next day when starting my pc the red cross was a back again. My mobo is a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L so I went to the Gigabyte website and downloaded the network driver for Windows 7 and tried to install it but Windows said the best driver was already installed. I tried running Network Diagnostics and it said there was a connection problem between the router and pc, even though I have Internet access. Can anyone help with this, its not a major issue as I do have internet access but its doing my head in
