    Fresh install of Win7 *unidentified network/no network access*


    I've freshly installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit on my system that previously had Ubuntu installed, and prior to ubuntu had win7 ultimate installed. With the fresh install of win7, I receive an unidentified network/no network access issue.

    Heres a list of things ive tried:

    - reset the network adapter
    - restarted the modem and the router
    - messed around with homegroup
    - reset tcp/ip
    - tried connecting to a specific ip/dns/default gateway (which i retrieved with a laptop)
    - ip /release /renew although i wasnt successful


    Ive tried almost every single thing I could find on google. Nothing works. I connect fine on ubuntu and I connected fine on ultimate.

    I havent tried installing drivers though. Because I cannot access the internet on that machine to install those drivers. Help is much much appreciated as I am tired of ubuntu.

    Thanks,

    j

    Welcome to the forums bietzshe,

    I don't know much about 7 Enterprise, but I imagine you would need to install the Lan/Network drivers for your Motherboard.
    Is your motherboard the P67 FTW? Do you have a driver CD for it? If not then you will need to head over to EVGA - EVGA Download Center find your motherboard from the drop down list and download and install the Network driver there.

    Can you post a screenshot of Device Manager? (right click on Computer icon » Manage » Device Manager)

    Also could you upload a screenshot of your ipconfig. These details are essential in finding out any network issue.

    It was the Lan driver. I actually tried all of that last night and it worked. I just forgot to reply. Good thing I checked my email. Thanks everyone.
