What security software are you using? Firewall/AV that is. Got Bonjour service installed (services.msc)?

OK, I will get that sorted out. Does it matter that the ethernet cable was not in when I was installing?
Running Microsoft security essentials. And Malware bytes Premium, haven't got Bonjour installed.
When installing Windows 7 it asks you for a password for your network as I was wireless when installing. Could it just be I need to put a password in for the Ethernet connection? If so how do I go about that?

I am wondering if you can help me mate. I have discovered I can get Ethernet connection by installing Marvell Yukon Ethernet controller driver. But the thing is I have to install it every time I start up my laptop. Do you have any idea what's happening here? I would much appreciate it if you gave me a reply as to what you think is going on.
I can try, how do you need to install every startup? Can you post a screenshot of any Windows that may be auto opening? Or anything that may be useful.
I need to install every time because it's not recognised as a home network. And I have no option to change that. But when I install the driver it automatically goes to home Network. And then I have to do it all over again when I start it up. I am no expert but I don't think it's being stored on the system. And even without installing it , when I go into Device manager there are no warnings. Device is working properly.
I am just going to upgrade to windows 10 mate and see if that fixes it
Possibly will, but maybe you would like to image backup your System Reserved (if you have) and C partitions with a program like Imaging with free Macrium
I think I will be back to windows 7, Don't like it at all. It's far slower than windows 7
If you still have problems after downgrading back to Windows 7, try:
- Create a manual System Restore point - System Restore
- Download the latest driver for your network adapter
- Open Device Manager and expand Network Adapters
- Right click and Uninstall - tick "Delete the driver software for this device" too.
- Restart PC
- Windows should auto-install the drivers, if not, install the ones you downloaded
