Unidentifed Network Problems? Check the MAC Address.

[mcluvin]

Been pulling my hair out for a few days trying to solve an unidentified network problem with my Marvell Yukon 88E8052 . Tried all the fixes I found on the web and nothing worked. I finally did an ipconfig all and noticed the MAC address reported was totally bogus (something like F0-00-00-00-00-00). I went into adapter settings - advanced tab and configured the network name (MAC address) manually. As soon as I did that windows recognized the network and asked what type it was. I've been golden ever since.

First welcome to sevenforums. there are tons of resources and ppl willing to help.

Doesn't it feel good to solve the problem. Now you, and all of us will know to look for that. Its exactly why we are all here
At some point you might want to fill in your system specs ( in user CP) so that if you have a problem in the future someone can point you in the right direction.

Have fun ask questions
