[ratha77]

Hi guys im new here, and looked like the place to be for some help, ive been racking my brain for days.

I reinstalled all drivers for my lap top

HP DV6618CA Windows 7 enterprise 64 bit
amd turion 64x2 chip
4gb ram

The Wired Nvidia LAN adapter disappeared on me a few days ago,
so i reinstalled all the correct drivers and got that back, but now when i plug it in through my router (linksys 310N) it come up with

Unidentified public network Access type: NO INTERNET ACCESS

but it is sending an recieving byes

here is more info from

What do you guys think ? thanks in advance if i cant respond right away

 

[ratha77]

quick note it does this when i wire straight from the modem too

 

[ratha77]

Bump.
Does anyone have anything to help?

 

[chev65]

According to this the wireless connection should be working, though you might want to remove the static DSN server adresses from your IPv4 properties because it looks like you also have the DNS servers in the routers settings already.

You might want to unplug the Ethernet cable in order to test the wireless connection because Windows will tend to use the wired connection when both are available.

Have you tried resetting your router yet?

[ratha77]

Thanks for the reply,
The wireless is working fine
No problems there

It's the wired LAN Ethernet adapter that is having the problem. It shows connected when i run the wire from
One of the router ports to the laptop

Although it then says
Access: no internet
Internet: no Internet

I have tried resetting the router several times.

Also when I run the cable directly from the modem to the laptop
It says the same thing.

 

[chev65]

When I checked at the HP web site for your HP DV6618CA, it says that there are no Windows 7 drivers available for it, only Vista drivers.

Have you tried using a different driver or have you tried installing the Nvidia driver in compatibility mode for Windows 7?

Windows may even have it's own version of this driver so checking at Windows update or having Windows search for a better driver might be worth while.

 

[ratha77]

I have tried many windows 7 specific
Drivers for this chipset with no results.

That is because the drivers are found
In the " chipset" Sub-area not the networking sub-area.

The nvidia chipset is found under
"chipset" and all the adapters are buried in there.

Do you suggest I try to run the vista 64 bit nvidia chipset in compatability
Mode with windows 7?

I've tried this with windows 7 nvidia chipset drivers and running the Ethernet adapter in compatability mode.

But that does not work either

 

[chev65]

Just to narrow the problem down save the file below, unzip and run the file, your machine will reboot automatically. This will fix any problems that may be occurring in the network stack.

Do you have AVG or iTunes installed on this system?

 

[ratha77]

well I have itunes installed but not AVG, I have AVAST!, but disabled it and tried to no avail.

I will run this file when i get home tonight and report back.

what is this file doing exactly again?

Ok about the iTunes, it installs a service called Bonjour which causes endless connection problems on Windows systems.

You will want to go into Windows services and find the Bonjour service and disable it, then reboot your machine and see if the wired connection works.

The IPreset file resets your IP and everything in the network stack. It won't hurt anything.

 

[ratha77]

Hey there,

well i disabled and stopped Bonjour, rebooted. No luck,

I ran your file, it rebooted by itseld and still no luck, im at a total loss?

thanks so much for your continued help though. its much apprecated. here is the ipconfig/all

According to your ipconfig the wired connection should be back online. It wasn't before and now it is, so something definitely changed.

Can you try turning off or disabling the wireless connection to see if the wired one is working or not?

I'm not sure how you can tell which one is working right now because they are both enabled.

Hi Chev,

i disabled the wireless and ran just with the wired,

even though it said unidentified and NO INTERNET

and got nothing

what do you think now?

and thank you so much for your help man

 

[chev65]

Disconnected again but it was up before, something seems to be cutting it off.

You might try using a different driver for the wired connection or just reinstall the one your using.

I can't say if Avast is causing a problem here or not but it might be worth uninstalling for now.

 

[ratha77]

is there a way to install a single driver for a single "Local area connection" ethernet adapter, without getting the rest of the lot from the nvidia driver chipset?

 

[ratha77]

and where are you looking on the "connected" ipconfig that tells you that my LAN ethernet was up,
they looked identical to me CHev? or maybe im just blind.

Right here in your ipconfig, this is what a good connection looks like.

See the difference? Seems very obvious to me but I'm not sure why it's cutting out like that.

Probably something that is installed on your system or maybe your router is cutting out for some reason. And yes there should be a separate Nvidia driver for the Ethernet connection, I'm running an Nvidia board right now and the chip set drivers are completely separate from the onboard Ethernet drivers.

Can you connect directly to the modem using Ethernet cable and see if it works?

That's the funny thing chev, as I was diagnosing
Before coming here, I connected straight from
Modem to computer to get the exact same result.
( ie access: NO INTERNET) perhaps I'll give my
ISP. A call tonight and see.

When I went to the nvidia website to dl
The drivers they were found under "chipset"
Not "networking" where do you think the individual
Ethernet driver would be found under?

And yes is see the difference there. I'm sure
Learning alot as i go here. Thanks again
For all the help man.

No problem, this is a tricky one for sure but it makes it a bit more interesting for me.

I'm not sure where the proper driver might be because when I looked at the HP site it said only Vista drivers were available.

After searching around at the HP site all I can find is Vista drivers and the strange thing is that NONE of them are for the wired connection. There are like 4 different drivers for the wireless.

Installing just the chip set drivers isn't going to cut it here. We somehow need to find the ones for the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller. You might try going to the NVidia web site and see if it can scan your HP and find the right ones. I can't find them anywhere at the HP site.
