Loss of network connectivity after a few seconds
Just upgraded to 7 from Vista and have immediately faced a number of issues.
For starters, and relevant to this forum, my internet connectivity. After a restart I can connect to my wireless network, but after less than 10 seconds the computer looses connectivity, telling me suddenly that I have local access only. The thing is, the computer is getting an IP from the router (as verified by both accessing the router admin from another computer and an ipconfig query).
I have already tried updating the display driver, which then really messed things up (would not even recognize the internal network adapter) and I did another install of the OS.
Additionally, the system's shut down is incredibly slow. I cannot say that I have watched the whole cycle, I usually leave the room after 10 minutes or so and wander back later to find it booted up. This has made troubleshooting the issue incredibly time consuming and frustrating. Any ideas?
