My son's just got himsself a new PC and is having problems getting the powerline ethernet adapter to work with Windows 7 (worked fine with Vista as of this morning).
what drivers might be useful (the adapter is a generic one) in getting this to work, and where they might be found?
I currently own a Retina Macbook Pro, which as you probably know, does not have an ethernet port. Unfortunately, my college dorms only have ethernet, so I bought a USB-ethernet adapter. While the adapter works fine in OSX, it is completely non-functional when I run Windows 7 via Bootcamp. Can anybody explain to me how to get it to work?

I think ever since I purchased the PC this problem has occurred.Problem: NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet card will only detect an ethernet cable when I restart. The minute I unplug it, it will not detect it if I plug it back in. I have searched high and low for a solution but have not been able to find one that works. I have disabled the sleep setting on the device and made sure the computer is not allowed to turn off device to save power.Drivers are updated.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus Striker Extreme motherboard. Since I have a PS3 but access to only one ethernet port, I've bridged my two motherboard ethernet adapters and plugged my PS3 into my computer so they can share the connection.I'd like to know if it's at all possible to configure Windows somehow to prevent it from going to sleep while there's any activity over the network bridge. Obviously I prefer to keep Windows' power saver scheme intact or I'd just disable sleeping entirely. However I don't want to have to reach over to the computer and bumping the mouse every ten minutes as I'm playing to prevent it from sleeping and cutting off my PS3's network connection.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAm running Windows 7 Pro on a Gigabyte GA-EG45M-UD2H motherboard with integrated Realtek RTL8111DL gigabit ethernet adapter.
Occasionally after walking from sleep I will not that the netork icon in the tray has a red cross through it with no internet access. Going into display manager shows no Network Adapter as if it just disappeared.
Rebooting restores the missing adapter and internet access.
Just wondering if there is a fix for this behavior? Note that it doesn't always do this after waking from sleep - only occasionally.
I just upgraded my internet connection to 30 Mbps. After running more than 50 speedtests on my computer running windows 7, I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong because I was never exceeding 17 Mbps on speedtest.net! I called my ISP and they told me that if they send a tech he will plug a laptop directly to the modem and if he gets 30 Mbps I would have to pay.. while he kept talking I used my Iphone (which is connected to the 30 Mbps connection through my wireless router) and surprisingly got speeds between 21 Mbps and 23 Mbps ! I then realised my modem or router wasn't the problem.
I tried uninstalling AVG antivirus (saw that on some forums), didn't work. I tried to plug my ethernet wire directly in my computer instead of passing through my router, didn't work. I tried the Enable QoS tweak and set it to 0% instead of 20%, didn't work. I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit - Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz proc - 8 gb 667mhz DDR3 memory - Onboard 100 mbps network adapter - Geforce GTX 560 (I know it's a waste with the Proc I have but i'll upgrade PC soon). BTW, I upgraded my internet connection from 8 Mbps to 30 Mbps. the 8 Mbps was maxed out on any speedtests or any popular torrents. After I upgraded I'm getting max 17 Mbps... it seems to cap there for an unknown reason !
I'm out of ideas. Tried several different drivers, and settings. Using a fresh install of Windows 7 RC. The drivers all seem to "work", by which I mean Windows 7 has no problem with them, but no driver I've tried will let the card actually talk with anything. It keeps trying to find a DHCP address and always comes up with a 169 address. Even when I specify a static IP it still won't see anything on the network.
DHCP is working for my on board NIC, and this card works in my XP installation on this same PC.
The driver that seems to "work" the best so far is this: Download HP Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Driver 13.5.00 Rev.C for Vista64 Driver for Windows Vista64 - Softpedia
With that driver I actually get all of the nifty features in the driver properties page, and I've run all of it's diagnostic tests which all come up green.
Also worth nothing: I had this same problem with Windows 7 Beta.
Does anyone know a decent site with drivers ? I'm sick of those WiseDriver, DriverAgent, Pay us and you'll get nothing anyway Driver Specialist my ***. I want know if there's any Windows 7 x64 driver for Surecom EP-320X-S Fast Ethernet Adapter. My onboard lan got thunderstruck and I really need a fast connection.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor the past half a year I have had my PC, I've always had some problems with my internet connection and Windows 7. I've always thought that it's a case of bad hardware and such but it's starting to look like it's Win7 that's giving me the finger.I've mainly been using a WLAN USB-interface and from the very beginning problems have been occurring. At first, the connection would be really unstable. It might stay up for 2 minutes or for a week. Rather annoying. I tracked down the problem and thought I had found a solution. Apple's Time Capsule has also a WLAN feature and it was Time Capsule's network I was using. I found out that Windows 7 and Time Capsule weren't all that compatible so I had to find another solution. Luckily enough, there's another WLAN in our household. It's much farther away than the other so I was afraid I might have some connection issues. And I did. The signal was weak at times and I just couldn't establish a connection. So, I moved my PC to another room and it started working properly. The distance from the router was cut down from maybe 8 meters to 2 meters or so.However, I couldn't keep my PC in that room forever and it seemed odd that when I moved the PC a few meters away from the router, the signal disappeared. So, that in mind, I went and took the USB-interface to the place I bought it from. I figured it was the interface because all the other of my devices connected to the Internet worked fine. The room is no Faraday cage. They still have the interface and I didn't get a replacement for the time being so I had to connect the PC to the Internet with a cable. At first, the MOBO wouldn't recognize the network. Then I rebooted and replugged all the cables and the ethernet LEDs started blinking. I was happy - I even checked that the lights indicated that there was data activity and that there was a 100 Mbps connection. But still - I oouldn't connect to the Internet. Windows 7 would only say that there're no connections available. I started realizing that it might be Win7. So I booted the PC up with Ubuntu since I have it on dual-boot and surprise, surprise - the Internet connection works perfectly. And here I am writing this post. The cable connection has worked with this PC before and it works now with other PCs, too.

every system on the network, other than the nas, is running windows 7
the switch is registering gigabit connections, indicated by the link lights
Jumbo frame is ON and is supported by all systems
What has been tried:
i have turned remote differential compression OFF, from what few articles i read on the web
tried different cables
tried other ports
cycled everything
updated drivers
tried a separate switch
DHCP on/off
Jumbo Frame on/off
anybody have any insight as to what to try? i have been looking all over the web and only found the concept of turning remote differential compression off.
NAS is a iomega ix4
At the moment I'm using Netgear AV200 powerline adapters and need to add 2 more adapters to my setup.Do I have to stick with Netgear or can I use another brand if they are both compliant with HomePlug AV1 standard and the same speed (200Mbps)Edit: Well apparently all powerline adapters are compatible as long as they are the same type (i.e. Homeplug AV or DS2), so I'll be getting more affordable pair of adapters...
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that i bought some 1gb belkin powerline adapters to give me a better connection in my house than my wireless previously did. However i plugged them in and boom "Unidentified Network - No internet access".Now at first i thought it was because i had them plugging in through and extension lead downstairs so i removed all than and plugged them straight into the wall. This didnt help at all.I read some forums about turning of IPV6 cos apparently.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have 4 Emachines desktops running Windows 7. 3 of the 4 use a Cisco wireless adapter USB to get on internet through our Netgear router. Sorry if I'm using the names like I'm advertising for them, just don't know how much difference knowing brand to brand makes. Anyways one of the desktops USB just stopped working, it showed up in the device manager when you would plug something in but it could not read off of it. I tried multiple portable drives and it the USB wifi adapter quit working. After a few hours I somehow figured out that if I brought the desktop and plugged it into a ethernet cable it would get online. I then performed a Windows update and it fixed the USB's. It done that twice over the period of a week. Both times a updat fixed the problem. I say all that to say Sunday, the one computer that is hardwired to the router by Ethernet cable quit working. The difference is the USB's all work fine, but I believe there is something wrong with the Ethernet port. Basically the same scenario one day its fine next it's not. I've check for updates but it say there is none. I have changed ethernet cable between them, tried swapping port with the cable. Also I swapped other computers to the same ports, they got online fine without a problem. I called Emachines they walked me through a test like thing in dos then told me it was fine. I haven't installed anything recently it just quit?

I try to login but I can't the USB mouse or keyboard are lighting up since the mouse is a laser and the keyboard has the num lock light. I go to the back and check and see if my Ethernet light is on its off. I pulled out my USB and tried the one in the front no luck. When I enter bios the keyboard works. Also I turned off the computer holding the button unfortunately. I pulled the plug out and held the power button for 30 seconds to drain the on board battery. When I turned it back on I had no luck both the keyboard and mouse were not working and the Ethernet light is still off. One more thing my PSU has always had a small led on it it always lit up green and it still was.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire One Nav 50 with windows 7 starter 32 bit. I recently did something stupid and ended up having to completely re-install windows.The Wireless works sometimes but it usually is not working. It basically seems like it is turned off, it shows that there are no networks available even though there are. I have used Device Manager to update the drivers a few times. I also deleted the drivers and let them re-install like that. It is an Atheros AR5B93.The internal SD card doesn't work at all. When i put a card in nothing happens and it doesn't show up in "Computer". But When i have a card in it and go to device manager it shows up under "Other Device" (something like that) and the number UB6250. I've tried updating the drivers for every USB Device that shows up in device manager.Everything works ok except the wireless and the internal SD reader. I had no problems with them before the reinstall of windows. The normal USB ports work fine. Windows is at SP1.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOkay. I am new to computers, I just hated vista with such wrath that I printed out everything ever to computers and updated to windows 7.
I had vista 32 bits, and all my drivers were working correctly when I upgraded to windows 7 32 bits. But I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 64x because I found out my computer has additional RAM that wasn't being used by the 32x OS.
When I did this, I had to install some new drivers, which I figured out by putting in my ASUS driver cd and then from device manager I would search the ASUS driver cd for correct drives.
(The ASUS Driver CD wouldn't work, it would tell me my operating system (obviously) wasn't vista, so I had to use the driver folder in it manually)
So, I can connect to password-less wireless perfectly, like my neighbors, but my work's pass-worded network it says connected but I can't actually go use the internet. Same with when I plug in Ethernet, it will tell me I'm connected but no internet.
I read around the internet and it said it has something to do with drivers. I tried downloading 64x versions of my drivers but I had difficulty using and installing them,
Here are my Network cards:
Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter
Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) (Pretty sure bluetooth doesnt relate to my internet but whatever)
Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)
My cable company said my wireless adapter on my laptop does not work and isn't picking up a signal. They believe I may need to reinstall the wireless driver. I have a hp G60-535-dx and I recently updated Windows 7 and don't know if that caused the problem. My other laptop is a windows Vista and will connect to the internet and they both share a wireless router, however the windows 7 laptop will not connect to the internet. What is the best way to solve this problem?

It didn't work, customer support said it must be a defective unit and return.One of the troubleshooting steps I tried was disabling the regular wireless adapter.

I tried reinstalling the driver automatically, and also others i found on the net, and none work. They all say device is working properly, but there is a red x on the tray icon and it says no connections and there is no list of networks in range like usual.When I run the Windows (7) troubleshooter, it says there is a problem with the driver but offers no solution.I tried system restore from multiple points, but all say it can't restore (possibly due to AV program). So I uninstalled avast, tried again, and still can't get a restore.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing a Linksys USB Network adapter WUSB11 Ver. 2.6, with windows installed driver, Windows could not even detect networks within range. The "troubleshoot connection" option is no help. I uninstalling the driver and installed the downloaded driver from the website for Windows Vista and rebooted. Same problem, no networks even detected, even though the computer running XP 2 feet away could connect and this computer when it was running XP connected fine with the same USB adapter.
I decided to try a hard wire to the on board adapter. No problem, except, I don't want a 20 foot cable running through my living room to the computer room.
So, I bought a ConnectGear Wireless N USB Adapter (WU260N). Windows auto installed drivers, so I uninstalled, and installed drivers through the DVD Setup wizard that came with the adapter. Windows sees connections now! But when I click on my network, it doesn't even prompt for the WEP passkey for my router.
It does prompts for a passkey when trying to connect to my neighbor's. I rebooted the computer and the modem and router, same problem...it won't prompt for a passkey for my router. Something's wrong with my router settings, right? Thinking it is the WEP configuration issue, I changed the router to WPA2 Personal with a passkey and rebooted the computer, modem, and router. It prompts for a passkey now, but will not connect. I changed the router to disable security, rebooted the computer, router, and modem. The computer STILL won't connect, even though the computer sitting 2 feet away has no problem.
I feel like I'm sooo close, but have run out of ideas to fix this. I would really prefer to use the Linksys USB adapter, I originally bought since I can't return it now. But if the new ConnectGear is my only option since it at least sees connections, I'm okay with that. I just want this computer on the internet already!
My laptop cannot currently connect properly to the internet. After trouble shooting, the diagnosis is that "There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection adapter". My laptop also wouldn't connect to the internet via cable. I'm not sure what the problem is as my laptop was working fine last night.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) installed on my Sony Vaio VPCEB36FG.
