Network Adapter gets disabled.
Running Win7 32bit (all upgrades removed), P4 3.2Ghz cpu, my Network
Adapter connects to the internet on boot; then after about 30 seconds or so a red X appears on In the Notification bar icon indicating NO internet connection. If I uninstall the Network Adapter through the Device Manager and reboot everything works great AFTER Win7 installs the Network Adapter. If I boot in Safe mode with the internet enabled things work OK. This leads me to the conclusion that some program or service is startingup during boot that disables the Network Adapter.I have everything disabled in the Startup tab. Going to the System Configuration window, via msconfig, I see there are many Services that automatically run on boot can anyone tell me just what services are required? Any and all help would be much appreciated. -- azTom |

When you reboot and Win7 reinstalls the network adapter, how long does it then stay working? Have you checked the manufacturer's site for any updated Win7 drivers (or your motherboard's site if the NIC is on-board)? What are you using for a firewall and malware detection/prevention? -- SC Tom "Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." Lt. Col. J.D.

Any and all help would be much appreciated. Did you check the Control Panel Power Options setting to see if its being turned off as part of power management? Go through the Advanced Options to see if any of them apply to you. Its not clear from your description if this is a battery powered laptop or a desktop unit. And its not clear if this is a wireless adapter or a pci device. So its not readily apparant if power management is turning off the network adaptor to save power. Sorry about missed info, it's a desktop I assembled from purchased parts from Fry's. It's wired to my router, no pci device built-in the motherboard. Just where do I locate the Advanced Options in the Control Panel? -- azTom |

Running Win7 32bit (all upgrades removed), That probably wasn't a good idea. You'll likely want to reinstall those updates as soon as you're able. P4 3.2Ghz cpu, my Network Adapter connects to the internet on boot; then after about 30 seconds or so a red X appears on In the Notification bar icon indicating NO internet connection. Do you actually lose your Internet connection at that point? Many current computers come with dual LAN ports now, so it's normal to have a red X on the unused port unless/until you disable it. Assuming you have a single LAN port and you really do lose your Internet connection, do you also lose your connection to your router at that point? Do you trust your router? Have you tried another port on the router, or do you have another computer that continues to work through that router when this computer doesn't? Have you checked the two LEDs next to the LAN port on your computer, (Link and Activity), and the related LEDs on the router? Link should be on steady and Activity should occasionally blink. Do you have another networking device that you can plug the computer into, like a switch or hub, (Internet connectivity isn't important or desired here) to see if the computer recognizes the physical connection? Do you know how to check your IP address information to see if anything changes after the red X appears? |

Guess it's the motherboard ASRock P4 COMBO their web site does not list Win7 as an operating system. The last BIOS update was 2005. Yes I have tried other ports and as I said if I uninstall the network adapter via the device manager everything works great until I shut down. It's been awhile since I checked the IP address please give me fresh instructions. Thanks -- azTom |
