Desktop with LAN connection, must do restart for Internet connection
Hey folks; I've encountered a strange problem and have tried a lot of things to solve it. I have an older desktop running Win7 Ultimate w/ SP1. It worked fine for years but for the past year, when I boot up, I don't get connected to the internet. I get the red x in the LAN icon on bottom right of screen. I found that if I do a restart of the computer it makes the connection and gets internet.
I have tried many things: Release, flush and renew dns from command prompt System scan for errors or corruption Run repair for Win 7 Update drivers for all out of date drivers Reload the entire Win 7 program and SP1 Replace the old ehternet cable with new CAT6 cable Update the software for the ZTE router Update the software for the Intel Network Adapter Finally I have installed a new Seagate baracuda SSD as my main C:\ drive to try to speed up the boot. None of this has worked. I still have to restart my computer EVERY time I turn it on in order to get internet connection. Note: The router also works for wireless and all the laptops and tablets and cell phones have no problem. The only problem is my LAN connected desktop. Anyone have any suggestions other than scrap it all and buy a new computer? |

Set a static IP it's likely a slow DHCP when it first starts run ipconfig /all and see if it gets an IP correctly

a few thoughts......
could be the lan driver is not fully loading until the warm boot happens, so to make sure the lan port gets power all the time go into device manager, right click on the lan adapter and uncheck "allow the system to save power by turning off this device" to make sure you get a fresh driver load every boot up, go into bios and disable fast boot try a different port on the router also try booting with your lan cable connected directly to the modem, bypassing the router, just to see what happens could be the lan adapter is going bad and the bios does not see it on a cold boot. If so its a $10 fix Amazon.com: EDUP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express PCI-E Network Card 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 LAN Adapter Converter for Desktop PC: Gateway |
