Both of my Windows 7 RC PC’s were having network problems this morning. Both PC’s were on however network connectivity to the internet kept dropping and reconnecting. At first I thought it was just my new PC however when my wife told me that she had a problem I was skeptical. What was odd was my work laptop running Windows XP was on and did not have a problem, however both Windows 7 RC PC’s could not connect to the internet.
I rebooted both boxes and swapped out the ethernet cable on my PC but that did not work. I rebooted my Linksys router but that did not work so I rebooted my cable modem and then rebooted both PC’s again and that resolved the problem. I really do not know what happened but I will investigate later tonight.
I just installed Win7 RC as a dual boot on my Vista Home – ACER PC. Before doing this I took pains to upgrade the VISTA HOME OS to SP2, as I had read in some Win 7 forum last July.
Win 7 dual boots just fine, and the sound drivers are working, not nicely, but working.
However, Win 7 tells me that I have NO internet connection, and that I must connect an ethernet cable to the NIC port on the computer.
Naturally, when I shut down Win 7, and boot in VISTA, my internet connection works just fine.
Beats me where to start … seems as if the driver for my NIC must not work in Win 7, which is a bummer. Anyone have any good ideas ?
