windows 7 7100 internet problem

[fourash]

i had 7000 for a while and the net worked fine
but today i installed 7100 RC and for some reason i can only get online for about 10-15 mins at most then it stops working
yet it is still connected and the net is turned on
just so you all know i am useing wireless
but anyway after it stops the only way i can get it working again is to restart my laptop and i only get another 10-15 mins

Goto device manager and find your network card and click properties and under management make sure that "allow the computer to turn off this device" is unticked.

 

[fourash]

are you sure that will work?
plus the adapter/card never got turned off just stopped gettin/useing the net for anythin that needs it

I'm not sure it will work, but it is a great and safe suggestion to try.

 

[fourash]

might do later since i need to reinstall windows
so might aswell try that just incase it does work

 

[penguin17]

It was just a suggestion,

I noticed that nobody had offered any other ideas in 3 days and thought i'd try help out.

 

[fourash]

[fourash]

back down to 7000 again
i will have my revenge on 7100
one day lol

windows 7 hp dv4-1199-es notebook internet problem

I have a notebook DV4 1199-es with Windows 7 installed.
I installed the driver for the Ethernet (mode compatibility windows Vista, system manager) but when I connect the cable modem to the notebook, I continue without internet ( I reset the modem).

im having the same problem but i only get 3 mins of internet time ive tried ticking it so windows cant turn the device off but it still wont work and i lost the disk with build 7000 so now i have to use vista

7100 did not like my nforce integrated lan port either. I twould turn off sporadically so I tossed on a cheap trendnet usb N stick i had retired and now its cookin'

Same problem here. I have a Dell Wireless 1500 Draft-N network adapter. Same driver as I was using with the beta, but it just stops working after a while and I have to restart. Turning the adapter off and back on doesn't fix the problem, so it's probably to do with the network stack.

I hope Microsoft fixes it soon, or we find a fix for it! I'm stumped...
