Hi All,
Thanks for your replies, and for asking for more information. I bought a wireless network adapter to see if the problem would be rectified with a wireless adapter.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (crap by the way) 64 Bit, and have had nothing but problems since installing and running it. I have rebuilt it over five times, and have given up reverting or rebuilding it, I just live with it's quirks. I have a dual boot Linux installed on another drive and it recognizes the network, and shows that I am connected. Windows 7 does not recognize the network, and says I am not connected wired or wireless. It is a problem with my service provider or their router/modem from Telus, as I did not have the same problem with Shaw cable, and my own router. They have tried to troubleshoot it with me, but they claim it is an unsupported issue.
So to provide you with more information:
Asus 802.11n Network Adapter for wireless and D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev.B) - both are recognized by the Device Manager and are working properly with updated drivers.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Both Wireless and Wired connections, and they are both not recognized but are working.
Connected to ADSL using router from Telus, Actiontec V1000H.
Network card/adapter chip is recognized.
Yes, cabling has been tested to see if it is an issue, but it is more of a Windows issue as it is happening to both Wireless and Wired connections.
I have tried to configure the network manually and automatically, still no joy in either situation.
Proper network drivers have been installed, and all have been updated.
Yes other issues are, it hangs for thirty seconds to many minutes when it shuts down. Sometimes doesn't at all, and I have to shut it off manually. Also, the Device Manager says that the Seagate DiscWizard Image Backup Archive Explorer is Unknown, even though it says it is working properly.
I have not used SpyBot S & D on this computer, as it gives too many false positives, and my level of expertise is not high enough to ascertain which ones to keep or get rid of when checking Windows.
Thanks for all your replies and assistance, sorry for the late reply, but I was waiting to see if the wireless adapter would fix the issue, and I had to wait for it to arrive.
Cheers,
idest
MrBig55 :
We need a lot more information to help you out:
- Model of network card/chip?
- Is your Windows 7 32bit or 64bit?
- Are you talking about wired or/and wireless connections?
- Are you connected to a router or directly to the modem?
- Is your network card/chip recognized under "Device Manager"?
- Did you verify your ethernet cable to be sure there is no damage, or that it's not bent?
- Did you configure an Ip adress yourself or you left it do that automatically?
- Did you installed the proper network drivers?
- Is there anything else that doesn't act normal?
- Did you used Spybot S&D to remove those pesky spywares that prevents the computer from connecting to the web?
Without anymore info your pretty much on your own...
