Random disconnects

It didn't work because router only supports 32 bit system like I already said.

By the way, I'm running systems that are more than 10 years old and they work perfectly for me using Homegroup networking.

No, and that could be why (Apparently several posts appeared and this ended up way later than it should've - was in response to the upgrade adviser.)

I'm still deciding, but if I choose to stick it out for a while and buy a nice retail version of W7, and then clean install, do you think it'd work much better? This system was originally dual boot vista/7, then I decided to delete the vista partition. That could be causing some of the issues.

Where did he say he running 64bit? It's not in his system spec nor in his posts. By the way, 32bit vs 64bit has nothing to do with the router. The router is an external TCP/IP device and as such has no relevance to the OS that's on any other network device.

Until he comes back and specifically states he's running 64bit, I'm not willing to conclude that's the problem.

I've been doing this a good long time, you havn't., I have already seen many 64 bit systems fail to work unless the router was supported for 64 bit. It's that simple, it happens all the time. NOw if you don't mind I would like to stick with my line of questioning. And you can stick to yours. Fair enough?

Your theorys on this are not correct as you seem to think. And I do not appreciate you derailing my post at all.

And as you noticed the Op seems to have problems with simple questions which I asked 4 posts ago.

Pythen, Please answer this most obvious question of them all, is your system 64 or 32 bit?

If "wipe" means formatting and merging it with the seven partition, then yes. I was originally just wanting to test W7 and didn't split a large amount of storage to its partition, but ended up liking it so much I rid myself of vista and merged to recover hard drive space :P

I've done that same thing a few times and never had any networking problems what so ever.

64-bit - System spec doesn't say under manufacturer/Model number, but says under OS (Windows 7 Professional x64)

Well there you have it, unfortuneatly your PCI router has ZERO Windows 7 64 BIT support. Suggest you try another Windows 7 compatible router or purchase another one that has 64 bit Windows 7 support.

I have seen this same problem come up countless times. If your router isn't on the list for 64 bit Windows 7 support then the odds are extremely high that it will not work.

Just look here, there is no support. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/com...IEEE&os=64-bit

This has already been proven true on many occasions right here in this forum.

chev65: Let's not get personal here. This is a technical forum discussing a technical issue. I do not wish to get into an argument with you. You DO NOT know my background nor my experience. You may be very surprised. I don't question your skill or experience so please do not question mine.

Oh were far from being personal. Your the one that questioned me remember? I do know that you attempted to derail a perfectly good line of questioning that has already worked countless times.

My point was that you havn't been here long enough to know that if there is no 64 bit support it most likely will not work properly. I have already done this about twenty times when there was no 64 bit support and the problem was fixed with a router upgrade, plain and simple.

I already have a pretty good track record here and I would appreciate if you do not derail my line of questioning in the future.
