Windows does not connect to the internet at startup
Hello friends.
I'm having a weird issue with my internet access. When I first installed win 7 x64, windows would connect automatically to the internet. After I did some tweaking and fiddling about, this is no longer the case .
Now, after starting the computer, I have to open Network and Sharing Center, click on the red X that's on the line between "Network" and "Internet", Windows will do its thing and then I'm connected to the internet.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Network port driver and I've rerun the setup cd that came with the modem, but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions? Could this be a windows firewall issue?
