Default cranky enet connection upon boot

Jason wrote:
My deskside machine has wired ethernet to my router. It has
forever been the case that Windows latches onto the network at
boot every time with no problems until now. I cannot think of
anything I have changed. Perhaps this is the result of an
update, but now when I boot the machine the network connection
does not take place and I have to fiddle with disabling/enabling
the adapter a few times before it does connect. That's not a big
problem, but I'm curious what might cause it. ...and it is not
quite consistent - about one time in five it connects instantly
just like it used to. Hardware diagnostics don't show anything.


Well the first thing I do is test the cable. Most most folks don't have
a test handy but my advise is always have a spare cable to test.

If you unplug cable and reinsert it does the connection connect
immediately? If so maybe the wire connector is loose or damaged.

Next what happens if from a CMD windows you renew the DHCP lease with:

ipconfig /renew

Take care,
