I just installed W7, and now when I try to connect to the internet it is telling me that I need to plug an Ethernet cable into the computer. Well there is one plugged in and I don't know what to do. It seems that it detects the modem, I'm unsure if this is a driver issue or what. I have a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC.
Glad to find a forum that's devoted to Windows 7, nice to meet everyone and thanks for your help.
Yes I have, one thing I noticed was the light that typically is coming from the ethernet jack is not on
It tries to connect to the internet (which it can't do) and then says I have the best driver.
Remove the NIC in Device manage & then power off computer, Revome card for MB for about 5 minutes. evern try a different open slot , Then reinstall card & reboot to see it it finds iit.
It found it, but it's still not working. It always fails out at Connecting through WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
exactly my problem and my card..
it's working for me, but disconnects randomly every 5-30 minutes
i don't think it's MB related, it's a W7 bug...
someone help..
