LAN connected but no internet
Hi
I have recently tried to install Windows 7 HP 64 but from a USB to an SSD. However I am encountering an issue with the internet connection
My mobo is an Asus z97p and I install the drivers for the realtek Ethernet after the Intel chipset drivers. I either get a hom connection right away or it starts with unidentified network.
What happens is that it will connect to my router but Ping is intermittent with 3 out of 4 or all requests timing out. And I have no internet. On occasion it will tell me I have the internet but I have no ping to for example Google same request time out issue.
Sometimes ping tells me it can't find host Google
I previously had a SATA HDD with 2 win 7 installs as well as the SSD and I had to use Acronis to restore one of the HDD OS installs and the internet connection issue started then.
I don't believe it's a mobo issue as it was fine prior to installing the SSD and I did temporarily manage to resolve this until I messed with the MBR last night, because easybbcd told me windows was booting in efi mode!!!!!
I have tried all sorts from reading these and other forums but nothing solves this! I am having to use an android tablet to get on the internet so posting logs and stuff is not ideal if at all possible.
The same issue seems to present itself in all clean installs no matter what drive I use and also in all acronis images I restore. And I have rebooted my router several times.
This has to be windows related, possibly MBR related, but I don't know what it is!
Please can anyone here help?
TIA
