Windows 7 :: Network Works One Way Only

ICS: Network Works, Internet Does Not
I have an XP desktop with a broadband (usb modem) internet connection and a Windows 7 laptop that connects to the internet trough Internet Connection Sharing using the desktop via LAN. The problem is that if the cable gets unplugged or the laptop goes in to suspend, upon reconnecting the network will work but the Internet will usually not. The setup worked before using the same Windows 7 installation on the laptop and a different XP installation on the desktop. The only workaround i found to work is restarting the desktop PC and reconnecting (restarting the laptop doesn't work). The settings to me appear to be correct:

windows firewall is on on both computers
microsoft network sharing client is enabled
ICS is enabled on the desktop

tried both static ip (192.168.0.1) and dynamic settings on the desktop LAN with no effect
workgroup is the same for both computers, but the windows 7 laptop has the homegroup disabled
the broadband connection on the desktop is enabled and the network cable is connected.

Wired Network Never Works Itself At System Boot
Wired Network never works itself at system boot, so that's what I have to do every time. when I boot with windows 7, it the network icon is a black screen with Internet Access in its tool tip. But the browsing and Internet access is scrambled. I always have to open my Device manager and right-click then uninstall the network card and then right click and scan for hardware changes.

It then detects and install the driver again automatically and the network icon in task-bar first becomes busy for some seconds, then with yellow exclamation mark for 2-3 seconds and finally becomes empty black screen with browsing and Internet access becomes actually ok this time and everything works fine till the next system boot!

The above scenario repeats at every system boot.

About hardware:
Board: Intel DG35EC
Processor: Intel core2duo E6750
Network Card (Built-In board): Intel 82566DC
Network Switch: Linksys
DSL Modem: Shiro

Additional Notes: Before windows 7 64-bits, I was using vista 64-bits and I used to have same problem in vista. So, I used to unplug switch's and DSL modem's adapter cable and all the LAN cables as well to make it work. This way works for 7 too but ever since I switched to 7 I formulated the uninstall-then-install way to make it work (less physical though!). But am looking for a tangible solution to cure the problem. Moreover, in Ubuntu and fedora, the network is always ready. No complains.~Quatum Computng is just a begining!

Connected To Network, Only Google Website Works
I just installed windows 7 on my computer. I am able to connect to my wireless router/network, however the ONLY thing I can access on the internet is google.com or gmail.com (that i know of).

I have disabled all security/firewalls and tried just about everything i can think of. I am able to connect to the wireless router with multiple other computers (running xp and vista). How is it possible that I can access google and my email, and even chat with people on gchat but I can't do anything else?

In the network status window my IPv4 says "internet" and IPv6 says "No network Access".

I am using a Zonet Wireless 802.11g usb 2.0 adapter (ZEW2500P) and connect through a Netgear cg814wg v2 wireless cable modem gateway supplied by comcast.

Is anyone else having this problem? Solutions anyone??

Network Hangs, Works Fine In Safe Mode
My portable is a Targa Traveller 826T with a AMD Turion64 1.8 GHz, 2GB RAM with Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC and Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG.

It worked well under all 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows XP and Vista.

The problems started with the release of Vista SP1. And exactly the same happens with 32 and 64 bit versions of all candidates of Windows 7 after a clean install.

The problem is this:

As long as there is no lan cable connected and wireless is switched off with the hardware switch on the pc everything works ok. But as soon as you plug in the lan cable and/or switch on wireless and network traffic starts the pc totally locks. Powering off is the only option.

In safe mode with network connection however all works fine.

I disabled all services with MSCONFIG but the problem stays.

No other programs are installed, it is a clean install. It seems to me like a buffer overflow somewhere.

When I had this issue with Vista SP1 I contacted Microsoft for a solution. They just said I had to contact the manufacturer for updated drivers.

But now with Windows 7 all drivers are from the install DVD so Microsoft put them on it.
Uninstalling the NIC and/or wireless drivers does not help.

- What else can I try to solve this?

- Can I somewhere find what is activated in safe mode and normal mode to find the problem?

- If something is causing problems after a software update is the hardware then to blame?

Network Issues - Localhost / Ping Broken, Internet Works
I recently created a new PC with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

At the beginning my Internet connection was very flaky (while perfectly fine before on XP). With flakey I mean that sometimes it worked perfectly, other times it was very slow and sometimes even stopped working altogether. After searching around for hours I discovered that disabling Windows Security Essentials real-time monitoring fixed things for me.

However, now I've discovered that WSE was not really the real issue. It simply made sure I could browse the Internet again. While surfing the Internet works fine all the time now, my network is still very unstable.

What I've discovered so far:

at times "ping" no longer works. Neither to local-host or external addresses. At the same time can can still perfectly browse the Internet. Both pinging local-host on ivp4 and ivp6 is broken.
nslookup and http requests keep working fine it does not get broken instantly, but degrades over a short period of time meaning that initially pings to local-host are <1ms, then go to >100ms, >2000ms and eventually time out.

after a while everything starts working automatically again

local services like ana apache server, jetty server, ... do no longer connect anymore as well
when debugging "ping google.com" with wireshark, I see the outgoing "echo" packet immediately followed by an "echo reply". However I never receive it in the command prompt (there I get timed out after a very long time)

when debugging "ping 127.0.0.1" with CommView, I see three packets going over the wire: "echo", immediately followed by an "echo reply", followed after a few seconds by a "destination/protocol unreachable" (is a reply to the "echo reply" packet)

What I've tried so far (that didn't solve a thing) disabled any service not needed to keep the pc running (including base filter/ip helper/firewall/ipsec)

Computer browser always fails to stop for some reason installed another NIC (clearly unrelated since local stack seems the issue, but had to try it anyhow) reset anything that can be reset with netsh (ipv4 stack, ipv6 stack, winsock, ...)

disable ivp6
disable firewall (using built-in windows firewall)

As far as I can tell, all this points to a sever issue with the "Loopback Software Interface" or kernel in general. Maybe some buffer that is running full?

Network Activity Icon Got A Red X But Connection Works Fine
When you have a network connection that is not connected on Windows7 machine (even if your main connection works fine) you get red X on Network activity icon.

To reproduce install virtual pc or another virtual machine app like virtualbox and you'll notice Network activity icon gets a red X.

Is this by design? Although connection of main adapter works fine it is quite annoying to see a red X.nLL

Works On One Computer, But Not The Other
When I try to install, I get an error in the beginning after the initial web update, every single time...

It says something about not having all the files available for installation? How is that possilible if I can succesfully install it on my other system? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I am also installing the CD on an external DVD/RW drive, since this old PC does not have a DVD drive installed. It also does not support USB 2.0. (1.0 only)

By the way, Windows 7 on my laptop has been running great! But my PC used to run 100 times faster with Windows XP. Is there any way I can get my PC running with Windows 7 just like my laptop, and even faster like before?

No Codecs Works
I'm having some trouble with media center, and actually also other video players..

I've been trying for some time to get media center running, but I keep having trouble with the codecs.

I'm running win 7 build 7100. First I installed ffdshow and used the MCDU to get media center to use ffdshow, and it worked. But then suddenly out of nothing about a week ago it didn't work anymore. When I tried to play a video-file I got the decoder error from media center telling me th-at the codec isn't working or isn't installed. It's all types of video files, avi, video_TS and so on. I then tried to uninstall ffdshow and install it again, but it didn't help. I then tried to uninstall again and install a different codec-pack. Didn't help. I have tried to install many different codec-packs but nothing helps.

Then I tried to play the video files using other media players. When playing video files in VLC the picture is kind of pixellated, doesn't look good at all (it's like watching the picture of Ripley's daughter as an old woman in Aliens if you remember).

I can't find a solution to this problem as I don't know what is wrong.

Old Hardware How That Works ?
I had some discussions with some of my customers about Windows 7 and it's requirements.

Main question were all times: "Did we need to change our hardware?" or: "Is an hardware upgrade needed?"

So, I played a bit around with older hardware for expamle:

1.: NEC Mate 17GA. It's an japanese NEC with 1.7 GHz Celeron Processor and came original with 512 MB Ram, 40 GB HDD and XP Pro installed. Computer is from year 2002.

I upgraded the memory to 1 GB and 160 GB HDD with 2 partition, each 80 GB, that's all.

Installed XP pro again, and was need to downlaod all drivers again, not one was working directly.

Installed Windows 7 7077 on the 2. Partition and all drivers were directly installed and working.

Boot time from XP: 3 min!!

Boot time from Windows 7: 1 min!!

2.: Sony Vaio Laptop year 2000, P4 3 GHZ and 512 MB Ram, 60 GB HDD.

No any upgrade I had leave the system in its origin state. It had XP pro installed and the booting time was 2.5 minutes!

Installed Windows 7 7077 as clean install and only system on HDD. Installation was need 49 minutes. All drivers were working directly and even the 512 MB Ram were enough. Ok, not for multitasking with more than 5 progs open at the time! The huge difference to XP Pro was: Boot time below 1 minute and the running with the same Office and Excel files, nearly 40% faster than XP!

The above testing and outcome is showing very clear that Windows 7 is even faster than XP ever was! But it also shows, that the min System Requierements are less than MS told as needed!

Overall the OS Windows 7 is working a lot more stable than Vista and XP. Even Software which were not able to run in Vista, like Windows Draw from 1991 or Ulead Image Pals from 1990, are working in Windows 7 very well.

I still have an NEC Peti Scan Scanner (a small mobile Scanner) which was able to work max in Win 2000 and I like to check that scanner can work in Windows 7 as well because the driver is assigned for Win 98 as latest OS! Need to find the driver again because the CD is "dead"! But if I get the driver, I'm quite confident I'll get that scanner back to work.

It's just a kind of fun for to do such testing! It also shows that the new MS OS seems to be a very relaible system.

Maybe those of the readers of this forum, who were thinking about to upgrade or not, get some more ideas.

Audio Only Works Through Headset
Since upgrading our Fujitsu Siemens Amilo PI1505 to Windows 7 in the past few days I've only been able to get sound through a headset and not through the speakers. Not particularly having a clue what to do I've tried installing the original audio drivers but can't do so as Windows tells me that more up to date drivers are already installed.

Any ideas on how to resolve this problem and if indeed it is a driver issue any ideas how I can get the old driver to replace the new without Windows reinstalling the latest ones on Restart.

Should Win 7 Works On All Computers ?
I my self believe thatÂ we should update our hardware to follow newÂ operating systems instead of trying to make new OS works fine on our 2,3,4 years old computers...One of the reasons i built a new system is to be able to runÂ up-to-date windows systems. Will not go farÂ with that but luckly my windows 7 working like charm and IE8 is working also perfect since i installed the os on c drive as main os.

I would like to know if bugs are 100% system failer or it has to do more with hardware issues as well! How can some body be sure about! I my self can amost tell but shouldnt microsoft offer users a very clear notice about the compatible hardware they built windows 7 on-for example.

HP Webcam Works But Not With Skype 4.1
I installed the driver for my webcam using the compatibility mode (ran it as vista sp2 though) and now I can see my webcam under sound, video and game controllers section in the Device Manager BUT webcam doesn't seem to work with Skype 4.1. I installed skype using compatibility mode in the same fashion. Has anybody had the same issue?

TV Card Works With XP But Not Win7
My TV card (unknown brand, 878TV) works beautifully with XP pro but not with windows 7. I've tried everything repeatedly, new drivers etc. Is the only solution to buy a new TV card? It works partially with DScaler, but not at all with the win7 player.

DriverMax Now Works With 32 And 64-bit Drivers

Flash No Longer Works In Any Browser
I just got this new computer, running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything was working fine at first, but then it automatically updated some things. Now, Flash doesn't work online anymore, in any browser. The content starts to load, then the browser freezes, and I have to force quit it.

I have the most recent version of Flash Player, and I can still play .swf files I make myself, so I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm fairly sure that this isn't an isolated problem, as a friend of mine is experiencing the same thing.

In a possibly related problem, .avi and other video files on my hard drive no longer play, nor do music files.

I doubt my specs are needed, since this is almost certainly a software problem, but I'm running on a Dell Studio, with a 2GHz dual core processor and with 4Gb of RAM.

Hardware HD Acceleration Works Out Of The Box
I have onbored Intel GMA X4500HD which intel claims has hardware acceleration for HD movie playback.

I could never get this to work properly with vista even with the power dvd HD codec installed?

I also tried all the dodgy codec packs available (which in my experience courses more harm than good) in my quest for low cpu usage during 1080p or just any HD playback in general really. And although my monitor isn't even a HD monitor it's still above standard definition & I just like to know things are working as there advertised I guess? Plus I plan to get a HD monitor when my finances permit me to?

I also had this problem with my old pc with an ati card installed aswell.

Anyways I installed windows 7 & hardware acceleration works right out of the box, literally. No codecs & no messing about it just works as advertised. The codecs are there already & work as they should do for once. My cpu usage is down from 30/70% to 0/20% max now. It was 70/100% without any codecs & 30/70 was the best I could get with vista.

With Windows 7 Microsoft has really hit the nail on the head for me, so to speak. Bootup times are so fast & so far I haven't had to install a single codec for once.

It's like a refined vista with all the same features plus a few more just for good measure.

8500GT Works When Monitor Turned OFF
CRT 21/750 Formac (SonyGDM) / point of view 8500GT / Windows 7-64

xfx 680i LT / 4 gB ram / Q6600 / latest XFX BIOS

(My first PCIExpress card - be gentle ;-) Here's what I've been doing

for what seems like the best part of two days -

1 Boot in safe mode, disable 8500. Reboot.
2 Drivesweeper'd nVidia display drivers in safe mode. Reboot.
3 Restart in safe mode to verify drivers gone, but 7 just goes ahead

and renistalls 195.62 anyway (A moderator on the nVidia boards says

that these latest drivers should NOT be installed in safe mode.) & asks

for a reboot.

4 Reboot as instructed, then screen blanks after entering password;

pretty much what I've gotten from day 1.

> Now, just today I tried something I saw somewhere here (?) where

A I reboot the PC (after 1,2,3 above) with my monitor OFF
B Enter my password 'blind'
C I finally get to a proper desktop which appears to be using the

correct drivers (Refresh rate looks much better) but I can't verify

graphics card changes, as this causes a blank screen again.

Monitor is the only device plugged into the GF card.

Where have I screwed up?

Change Motherboard - Will Win 7 Works ?
I have a question about Windows re-activation.

If I change a motherboard/cpu in an Dell PC, will I still be able to use Windows 7 on that computer? I know that I can get the drivers loaded ok in safe mode, but will I need to re-activate Windows 7 to get it working again?

I read something a long time ago about hardware changes and activation, but I don't know if this will happen in this case. No big deal if I just need to ring up, but I wanted to check it wouldn't just break.

Old Canoscan D660u Scanner Works
when I scan an image from twain, it works right to the end, but it doesn't show the actual image.Â just before completion I get something like 'access violation',Â or: 'you need a WIA driver for this device.' when I open and try to use Paint it doesn't even RECOGNIZE the scanner!

I looked up 'WIA driver',Â but that seems to be hopelessly outdated by now. Canon even seems never to have heard about Windows 7, RC or Beta or whatever...

How Upgrade Works On Top Of Vista ?
i have 64bit vista home premium and will want to upgrade to windows 7.

but am unsure it get the windows 7 upgrade or full.

my vista has been having all kinds of issues (at least i think its vista and not the computer). been getting errors with media center tv (which i dont use anyways), and windows programs sometimes running slow and/or freezing up (which i dont think it should being that i got 4GB ram). i have even done full reinstallations of the OS back to factory condition a couple of times (thinking it might have been a virus or to wipe away corrupted files and essentially start over), yet the same problems persist.

if i do a windows 7 upgrade, does that put windows 7 on my computer as it would if i had done a full clean install?? (i know the upgrade leaves my programs and personal files in place). i am just worried that if my problems are the vista OS and i upgrade to windows 7, that the upgrade will "recycle" vista files it needs, and that if those files are the ones causing me problems now, that my problems will persist with windows 7.

UPGRADE From 7057 To 7048 Works
If you want to revert back to build 7048 without having to do a fresh install and re-install all your programs you CAN actually do an "Update" from Windows 7 7057 to 7048.

You'll just get a Warning that the version is older than your current and that a device or two might not work --mine indicated the Motorola sm56 fax modem -- but I've got the driver for that anyway if I want to use it.

This leads creedence to the fact tha 7057 was "an Interim" build never intended for serious development use whereas build 7048 was actually part of the "True" development cycle.

Maybe my English might be mis-understood here -- I am NOT implying that build 7057 is a FAKE but just that it is a "testing" type build designed to check out certain parts of the process -- for example a lot of people experience longer install times before the Language menu comes up (perversly the better your gear the longer it takes to "start").

My advice would be that if you haven't installed 7057 don't bother --stay with 7048 until the next decent "leaked build" or the official RC1.

At least you won't have to look at the HIDEOUS logon screen.

WIFI CONNECTION WORKS ONLY FOR SKYPE
I've upgraded from Vista to 7 and since then my wifi connection says I do have internet but... I connect to skype but I cannot connect to Msn Messenger, Yahoo Messenger nor can I navigate with any browser. If I connect directly to the LAN, not thru the router, then it cannot find the ip address...Any idea how to solve this problem?

I am working now with an old laptp running XP and does not have any problem! These new OS, vista and 7 only gave me trouble! (I upgraded from Vista because I was having so many problems that thought that 7 would be better but... even worst!)

No Browser Works After Upgrade Install
I did an upgrade install from Vista.Â Everything about the network appears to work.Â Network connection is established and shows internet connectivity (appears to be quicker and more stable than under Vista).Â Ping works for most sites like google.com, yahoo.com, but not msn.com.Â However, when I try to connect to a web site, either external or internal, both IE8 and Chrome just sit there and eventually time out.Â

This is true for google.com and my wireless router config utility at 192.168.0.1 (internal address).Â I have two other systems, one Vista, One OSX connectedÂ to the same network and they continue to work fine.Anyone else had this problem?
