To get System Specs - System Info - See Your System Specs
What security software are you using? Firewall/AV that is. Got Bonjour service installed (services.msc)?
Can't get Public Network to change to Home Network!

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?Last edited by hollyoaks777; 05 Aug 2015 at 01:49. Reason: Could it just be I need to put a password in for the Ethernet connection?

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.

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

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
