Network Starts with "Limited Access" and then Connects after 1 Minute
Prior to this issue , I had ESET Smart Security 4 installed and everything seemed fine. After updating to ESET Smart Security 5, it seemed to be that every time I turn on both my desktop and laptop (both running Windows 7 Professional x64) the network would say "No Connection" (on my desktop via ethernet) and "Limited Access" (on my laptop via WiFi). After a minute, both computers would then connect.
I'm pretty sure this program somehow changed the way my network adapter connects with my networks.
Here's what I tried doing:
1. I tried to uninstall ESET Smart Security 5 (using their manual removal tool and tried to delete the remaining registry keys) and this problem still persists.
2. I tried to boot up my laptop in SafeMode with networking and this problem still persists.
3. I tried to reset my TCP/IP settings via cmd and through Window's reset utility -- still nothing
4. I tried to do a system restore, but it has been over a month after my update -- so that doesn't work either
5. I checked Window's network services and made sure it's on automatic
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for all your help!
