Internet Connection Problem

[rockskull]

Hi.

I just installed Windows 7 RC 7100. Everything was just working fine. One day, after I restarted the computer, it couldn't connect to the internet. I opened the Network and Sharing Center and there was two networks (Home and Public, when should be just Home). The internet works if I disable and enable again the network adapter.

This don't happen when I hibernate, just when I reboot.

I use Cable internet (Motorola SBV5121 modem) and a Marvel Yukon 88E8040 network adapter.

I already updated the adapter driver.

Does anyone has a clue of what's happening ?

Try running Diagnose & Repair function and let us know if it works.

 

[rockskull]

Already tried. It didn't. Actually, worked once. But when I restarted, the problem came back.

possible answer

i had a same problem,u should try this:go in network and sharing centar,then click on see full map,it will show u your network map,then put mouse pointer over the gateway,remember his ip,then go on yours Home network local connection,and click properties,then IPv4,then advance,and go to WINS,and add the ip from the gateway there,that help me with the same problem

Onestyle.

Thanks man. That worked.

Just one question, Will this gateway ever be the same? Or if i restart the modem, it will change?

:d:d:d:d

i think so,and no it won't chane if u turn the modem off,but if you lose net again,just do the same thing,check again the gateway,if the gateway is the same,just do troubleshoot,if that didn do any help log off or restart your pc,and u will have net again....if u have any problem with win 7 contact me,and i'll help u,i'm a long time tester of this great os,and i had many problems,solved all hihi

Same issue

I am having the same issue. I have updated my driver and enabling/disabling the adapter is the only thing that works. Some additional history:

I installed Win 7 and internet did not work, showed an error. Other local computers are able to access shared folders on the Win 7 machine so error was only going through gateway (no internet access). It is set to DHCP and IPV6 is off and using latest diver for REAL tek onboard NIC. Running ipconfig shows 0.0.0.0 as default gateway but in some instances shows the real default gateway (router IP) under the 0.0.0.0 so essentially showing 2 gateway addresses. Resetting the NIC seems to work for a few hours but eventually it gets a gateway error. I have also tried a usb nic (linksys) to see if maybe a new nic would solve issue but the usb nic experienced similar issues (although I did not fully test it). Other PC's running vista or xp work perfectly fine connected to the router. Swapped cables and ports so it seems that this is a Win 7 issue.

Any thoughts on things I can try?

 

[onestyle]

you got a error like --turn off your modem,wait 10 sec--something like that,in that case do the same thing that i wrote above,and restart the pc when u r done,u should have internet then,

I have tried the reboot methods but still fails after a few hours.

 

[onestyle]

have u did like i said in my first post,the all gateway procedure....that should help,and enable ipV6 a dhcp and in ip-v4 as default gateway add the same thing like in wins ...and after that apply and restart...and something else 0.0.0.0.0 cant be your gateway

 

[mat]

I can try it but from my understanding WINS doesnt really (or shouldnt really) have an impact on storing gateway settings. Even statically setting the default gateway won't take when it decides to randomly stop.

 

[onestyle]

i don't know,but it help me,and my friends so...just tryin to help

 

[mat]

appreciated, it may work, fingers are crossed.

 

[onestyle]

my network is configured in that way,and from then i didn had any problems with internet

 

[blackbitz45]

I'm having problem with my windows live installer it keeps saying "no internet connection" but I can browse firefox.

 

[rockskull]

Ok.

The gateway thing worked just once. After a second restart the problem came back. I tried reinstalling the adapter and troubleshooting but both didn't work.

Does anyone have a new idea ?

 

[rockskull]

No new ideas ?

If that second network that you refer to as Public is called "Unidentified" and you see a default gateway that is set to 0.0.0.0 and you have installed ITunes then that seems to match the report at:

Which is a well-known issue with the Bonjour service apparently going back well over a year:

Settign the Bonjour service to Automatic (Delayed Start) appears to correct the problem.

Hope this helps.

i had the same problem but is ok now,
start menu > right click my computer > properties > device manager > network adaptors > yournetwork adaptor > right click and properties > power management > uncheck the checkbox allowing computer to turn off the adaptor to save power

I could transfer between Windows 7 64 desktop(wired), Vista Home 32 Laptop( wireless, and XP home 32 laptop(wireless) but today.....NO GO!! I clicked on 'full map' in W7 and when i clicked on 'gateway' my router disconnected with the internet, THREE times. Grrr. Each time i manually turned netgear router DG834G off for 15 seconds. No help...until this thread!

ANSWERED(at least fixed): Thankyou onestyle +1, it fixed it completely (still have no idea about the gateway icon tripping me out but ill research it if it plays up some more. Im NOT going to click it while its working :_) )
