Broadcom MAC Address At Start Up?
Apr 6, 2011
I have an issue with the start up of my computer, its slowing down the whole boot-up process.
I turn on the computer, it goes past loading the BIOS then I get a black screen with Broadcom at the top, its searching or locating for a MAC address - progress for this searching or loading is shown on the screen via dots for example "." "..." and then "......" as if the dots are a percent bar. Once the dots have finished, it says there is a file not found then moves onto the windows 7 load up logo and then into windows around 8 seconds after the windows logo shows.
how can I get rid of this MAC address searching part? It never used to show up before, only when the tech guy came and replaced the motherboard.
again the steps taken are
1. power pc on
2. pc loads past bios
3. the computer looks for Broadcom MAC address (this takes up to 20 seconds)
4. windows logo
5. computer enters into windows desktop
My computer before used to load right away only a few seconds, until this annoying MAC address thing shows up.
My computer has the following spec
Windows 7 64 bit
i7 960 Processor
RAM 6GB DDR3
1.8GB Nvidia 295 SLI
512GB SSD

My internet connection shows 'no internet access' even though my ISP shows the connection is coming into the house just fine. I usually use a router (NetGear-WNR3500U) but I right now I have the Ethernet connection plugged directly into my PC. I tried directly plugging into my laptop and the internet works just fine. So I know the problem resides in the PC.
Some troubleshooting things I have tried.
-Power cycled my modem, router and PC.
-Repinged my connection from my ISP(Comcast Xfinity)
-Used the reset option on the router and the modem
-I was walked through the internet options needed with the tech support from my ISP to make sure DHCP was enabled and every other setting was correct, and he cleared me that all settings were correct.
-Tried ipconfig commands to /renew and /release my IP When I tried ipconfig /renew I get the error 'An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server'
-Restored my PC to a restore point where the Internet was working
All of these options did not work.
What I think the problem is and I am not sure how to fix it, when I run the ipconfig /all command my Auto configuration IPv4 Address shows 169.254.112.76 which I was told is a router IP address even though I am plugged directly from the modem to my PC with an Ethernet cord. So I think that's my problem? But I am not sure.

I upgraded my windows 7 beta last night to the RC1 release. The only issue i am having is that now my wireless driver is not working correctly.
under the device manager the error is "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
I am using a macbook pro with bootcamp on it, the initial beta public release of Windows 7 picked up the drivers fine. For some reason after upgrading i can get no wireless though. I have tried downloading vista drivers, and just about everything i can think of. I also downloaded the Bootcamp Vista 32 Update from mac, but it did not resolve the problem either.

I was having problems with my IOGEAR GBU321 Bluetooth Adapter with a Plantronics PLT510, under Windows 7 RC 32-bit. The newest Broadcom driver solved my problems immediately. Don't use the latest IOGEAR drivers(GBU321_v5.5.0.44), they do not work.

my Lenovo S10e Netbook features a Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter Hardware ID DEV_4315 wich used to work perfectly under Windows 7 7000.
After having installed the RC it sais the driver could not be initialised. Deleting and restarting etc. did not help, Winupdate sais: driver is up to date.
Searching Broadcom's website left me even more confused..

Not sure if I've got the right forum so sorry if I've put it in the wrong place, but here goes,I'm running a brand new Lenovo B570 with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and a Broadcom 802.11n wireless network adaptor.Earlier today I was managing to connect to the internet wirelessly, though the connection kept dropping out. Then I could connect to the wireless router, but not through the internet, and now I can't connect wirelessly at all. With an ethernet cable internet access is fine, and another computer in the house connects fine to the wireless too, so it follows that the problem's with this machine.The computer recognises that the networks are there, but it can't connect.

So just installed Windows 7 RTM (v 7600) on a Lenovo X200s. I have a Plantronics 510 Bluetooth headset that I use for VOIP. I followed the connecting instructions (just as I've successfully done with other Lenovos) and gone through 1 failed attempt (which happened on the RC version 7100 too).
I download this driver install kit and when I attempt to install it I get an error immediately. (this worked fine for me on my old X61s)
"The program cannot upgrade your software. Please contact the manufacturer of your bluetooth device for support."
The problem with this is that Plantronics relies on the built in BT driver to work. I had a challenge on my older X61s (discovered it wasn't installing due to internal firewall issues) but knowing that, I took the X200s home and tried the install at home, off of corp net.
I've been able to connect successfully to other Bluetooth devices (like my mobile phone) but the BT headset won't take any drivers. Broadcom's "support" is anything but supportive.
I've uninstalled (through device manager) the BT Peripheral Device & scanned for hardware changes. Still get the same failure.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Talking about the Broadcom Bluetooth installer at Broadcom.com - Home. Everything works fine until the Instalshield process. Fails, saying "Device not plugged in" for Bluetooth Peripheral Device and Multimedia Audio Controller. Bluetooth Radios and Human Interface Devices are OK. Do you think my Bluetooth adapter is possibly just too old? It is a Belkin F8T012. Broadcom.com - Home doesn't offer support.

I have a MAcBook Pro running buikd 7264 x64. On this build and 7229 I get BSOD about once per day, caused by the Broadcom driver. I wondered whether anyone else had the same issue? Broadcom dont have drivers on their site for the WLAN chipsets, i guess only OEMS supply them?

I have the above brand of LAN on a ASROCK Z68 Extreme 4 Mobo.Router: Netgear DG834G The whole computer is about 7 months old and as per another recent thread it has a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Pro. However since the reinstall an issue that also existed before continues to annoy me.Namely, the internet at times drops in and out over a period of hours and then just works.CAT 5 Cable has been replaced and tested in another machine and is fine.There is another laptop, older Dell with Vista on the network (wired) that has no issues, everytime my PC drops I check it and 9 times out of 10 its still working.Whilst I prefer Firefox, i normally solve the issue by opening Explorer and using its Diagnose tool. Quite often it will say ' The default gateway is not available' One bit of info, it also continously says I am on a ' Unidentified network' and ' Public Network' despite it being a simple home wired (NO wifi i switched it off) LAN. How do you change it back to HOME network? sometimes the Public Network is in blue and you can click it and tell it yet again to be HOME but other times its not in blue or clickable to change.

I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and I just noticed that all my drivers for the USB controllers, Audio/Sound devices and the Networking internet (Broadcom Netxtreme Drivers) have all died. They indicate that a Code 39 is the problem. I tried to load some of the drivers but it wouldn't allow them to install. I did a last known configuration attempt, no results. Did a system restore and it gave me an error message saying it didn't restore properly. I am trying to get the drivers online, burn them to a disk and load them. I have no internet access on that PC and the USB ports obviously don't work. I can get drivers on this PC online. Some I can't find. I did the uninstall driver, disable, all the usual for this problem. I am stumped. Any recovery attempts produce nil results. Thanks to Microsoft, I have no installation disc to do a new install or a backup image.

Installed Windows 7 on two home-network computers. Everything appeared to be good, including networking, but I could not access printers (linked through each computer) with the opposite computer. Windows update offered an update for the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter, but when I installed the update I completely lost the network.
I had to revert to the old driver in order to reastablish the network. But the printers still are not recognized. The network adapter on the secondary computer is a Linksys WMP300N. I did try turning the router off for ten seconds with the updated driver but that had no effect.
Anyone had this problem?

I'm looking for a scrollable top links for Chrome.In other words the links just below the address bar so I can place more links and scroll to view them all.I feel like Browsers are going to be a window with tabs and all of us saying "where are our bookmarks?" "Where are our extensions?", "Where is the address bar?" followed by everyone installing older browsers and telling Chrome and FireFox to rethink the browser again because you gone over the deep end.

If I use live mail can I keep my present address??? I noticed that hot mail is the parent to live mail...is there any way I can keep my present address??
Right now my provider is road runner...I can operate my present email from them using my present email address, because that is where my pop/smtp servers are!
I am not that savvy when it comes to internet techniques involving mail..I am just doing what I know..

I have a d-link router "DIR 825 " I come out of my brighthouse modem to the router and go across the room to a netgear switch. I have one computer that won't find a ip address when coming out of the netgear switch. I have to run straight from the D-link router to the pc to get on line. The other PC works fine coming out of the switch. Is there something I can check to get the one pc to recognize the IP address when coming out of the netgear switch
