Local Only Network - Wired
Apr 27, 2009
Alright, so I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 build 7086 x64. Everything works just find, except my network adapters. I'll detail system specs after I explain the problem.
When i connect one of my cables, the computer attempts to identify the network. It doesnt. I check IPconfig, and it gets all DHCP information from my Linksys router, but no internet connection. I have IPv6 turned off on both adapters, as well as the VMnet adapters i use for VMware Workstation.
I attempt to ping google.com and it comes back, ping request could not find host
I attempt to ping the router, and says host unreachable.
(IPconfig data - Local Area Connection 2) (Local Area Connection 1 shows up the same with IPv4 Address 192.168.1.102)
Connection-specific DNS Suffix : oxfordnetworks.net
IPv4 Address : 192.168.1.103
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
The Gateway itself sees the Win 7 computer, but when i ping from the router to 192.168.1.103, it times out.
Also, I attempted to update the network drivers using the Intel Pro v14 Vista x64 drivers, and the installer wouldnt let me install the drivers because of "software not built for your operating system".

I've been searching around for a fix to my issues but I cant seem to find one so Ill try just taking a stab in the dark and seeing if anyone will reply.
Now..
I am using my on-board RTL8168C NIC to connect to a Netgear DG834Gv2 using a cat5 cable. My network connection state varies from full access to none at all. Sometimes I turn the computer on and it works fine, other times I have to disable then enable the NIC 5-10 times and eventually it works.....then doesn't work.
It also appears that when all the planets align,and for some reason or another I can actually get on the network...that the NIC gets "overloaded" with information then just disconnects me. Say for example, I can go around facebook and google, that sort of thing fine (when said connection is working) but say if I want to load up something like World of Warcraft it appears to break my connection.
I have tried using Gigabytes drivers on their webpage specific to my mobo, I have gone to Realteks website and used their latest drivers and I have also just used the bog standard windows 7 drivers, it appears when I do uninstall the device and then reinstall it with one of the drivers the device appears to work but then after 5-10 minutes maybe, the device fails me again.
I've been reading around and I have disabled the Bonjour service and set up the network as "Work" network.
This issue seems to come and go too. It appears to hang around from a day or 2, somehow repair itself and be fine for another 2-3 weeks and break again. Actually since Sunday I have been having this problem, Saturday I was pretty much downloading all day at my max 150kbps (Go go Australia's amazingly fast internet ) no problems at all.
We have 2 other computers on the network, 2 laptops, One using 7, the other using Vista, They do not have any issues at all.
Anyway, here are 2 IPConfig's One where my network connection is fine, The other where it is broken.

This sounds really noobie of me but is it possible to improve local network transfer speed by adding a 2nd network card. I was planning to connect one exclusively for lan transfers and another one hooked to a separate wireless router.
Right now only a maximum of 3 users can stream SD videos off the PC before it gets a little choppy.
The pc in question runs on windows 7 and it's board has built in gigabit, I happen to have a spare gigabit card.

The output of the "print route" command on my Win7x64 system is shown below.The wireless adapter has been assigned to 198.168.2.72 by the router and the Gigabit wired connection has been manually assigned the static address 198.168.2.8The strange thing is that the gateway metric which I believe is used to decide which connection to use is 25 for the wireless connection (i.e. fast) and 276 (i.e. slow) for the gigabit wired connection. But I expected this to be the other way around. Why does it think the wireless onnection is faster? Does this mean that network traffic is generally routed thru the wireless adapter? Is there a way for me to tell which adapter is being used to route traffic?Should I believe its reported speed, or should I force the metrics so that the wired connection is used by default. If so, what commands are used to force this priority, and do these commands need to be repeated after every boot, or are the permanent?

The title suggests i need to setup my networks so that they are both working harmoniously together.The reason i need this is because on the wireless side i need to connect to my router for internet access.On the wired side i need to connect to my NAS. I have tried connecting the NAS box to the router and it works but it is too slow.

It takes between 45-60 seconds from the time the desktop is shown, untill the network identification is done. This is both after normal reboot, or resume from standby. After that, everything works fine. For me, that is just a long time to wait, and i wonder if someone else have the same problem? I tried disabling ipv6 and the option to power down the card when in sleep mode.
My network card is in my system specs, and i use the only driver for Windows 7 64bit for this card.

I recently bought myself a new Netgear Stora MS2110 (network storage), my network situation is a bit strange. I've got my computer connected to a wireless network with internet access, and the Stora now connected to the computer by a wired LAN without internet. I just now discovered that I needed to have internet to setup the Stora, so my question is this - Can I somehow Bridge the wireless network onto the wired network through my computer? giving the Stora internet access and access to the wireless network.

I've been having this problem for weeks now and haven't had any luck fixing it. I'm having an unidentified network issue on my desktop, which is running Windows 7. I know it SHOULD be working because I've tried plugging the cable into my laptop and disabling wi-fi, and that works fine.I'm currently on my university's network, and this only started when I first moved in this semester. My ethernet was working fine when I was at home over the summer, and when I was at school last semester. I'm able to obtain an IP address, and I'm able to ping 127.0.0.1 and my IP address successfully from the command line. Based on reading tons of other posts, I've also tried.resetting TCP/IP. dnsflush disabling IPv6 uninstalling Bonjour reinstalling drivers for my onboard network card (mobo: ASUS P7P55D-E LX, Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller)resetting the CMOSbuying a new Intel NIC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033) changing the "Link Speed & Duplex" setting for both cards (tried 1.0 Gbps full duplex, 100Mbps full and half duplex) changing network settings to automatically configure unidentified networks as private networks instead of publicrunning virus/malware checks I'm really at my wit's end for what else to try here. I thought buying a new NIC would do the trick and it was a last resort for me, but even that hasn't worked.

I have a wired network - ethernet cable from pc upstairs down to modem at television. Cable from modem to WD TV live. So all networked and wd tv is showing up correctly as a network drive.If I transfer a 350mb video file from my pc to the hard drive attached to the WD TV live, over the wired network, it takes just over one minute i.e. just over 5 megabytes a second transfer. Not great but adequate.If however I connect my Nokia N8 to the same pc and copy the file from the N8 rather than the PC (even though the N8 is connected to the pc!) the file goes to the WD TV in 28 seconds - over 12 megs a second.How can a file get transferred quicker over the network from a phone connected to the pc than from the pc itself to the same destination?
ps - the phone is displayed under "portable devices" rather than "hard disk drives" and the properties suggest it is using a protocol called MTP - media transfer protocol. I've also added another external usb drive to test the transfer and received the same results as the built in hard drive. So it does appear to be something to do with "hard drives" versus "portable devices" as recognized and dealt with by Windows.

I have two PCs cabled directly to a Netgear WNDR4500 router. This morning, my Windows 7 PC had no network connection when I turned it on. These computers don't get moved, I wasn't messing with the cables beforehand. Everything was fine yesterday.The Troubleshooter suggested I had a broken cable. I tried another cable, but it still would not work. I connected the Windows 7 machine to the same router connection my XP machine uses, but it still did not work.Device Manager reports the Network Adapter is working properly. The system tray network icon reports "Not connected/No connections are available." The Troubleshooter reports, "A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken." I tried disabling/enabling the Local Area Connection, but it still reports "Network cable unplugged." My gut feeling is that the Ethernet jack on the motherboard is physically broken. But it blows my mind that it would break for no reason.Could an automatic update of some sort disabled networking in a way that it only appears the cable is bad? Could the physical connection at the back of the machine spontaneously break? I suppose I could go buy a network card, which would be cheaper than replacing the motherboard. I'm gonna get cleaned up and head to the store now.

I have a simple home network running several machines with Windows 7.
My "server" is running Windows 7 Pro x32. This machine is connected via wired internet directly to my wireless router. When I run a java speed-test web app, I am seeing speeds between 1 and 4 Mb/sec. (My connection is ~20Mb).
I have a Windows 7 Pro x32 laptop connected via wireless. This laptop gets 17Mb/sec speeds.
When I connect the laptop via a wire to the router, it's still upwards of 15Mb/sec.
This was not always the case with this hardware. I have tried shutting down any non-essential services. I have tried running the speed test in Safe Mode +Networking. I ran a live linux CD and got fast speeds.

Me again, so I know why the Windows 7 HP PC in my last thread won't connect to a wired network here at work, however I've just tried to connect this PC (which is running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, 2.6Ghz Quad core, 4GB RAM (it's an Acer Veriton X275)) and I get the same stuff. It sees an unidentifed local area connection but it tells me there is no internet access and no network access. Not only is this annoying, but having just got the company to spend over �450 on copies of Windows 7 Pro for 4 other PCs (as well as memory upgrades for 2) it's more than a little worrying!
why this Windows 7 PRO PC won't connect to a wired network? Server PC is running Windows Server 2000, coming through a Netgear switch.

I have a wired linksys router that works fine. I'm not using DHCP on it, its setup at 192.168.1.1. My pc which only has a wired NIC, connects with no problems.I recently bought a tplink wireless router. I changed it so the ip is now 192.168.1.254 (it was 192.168.0.254 originally which meant I couldnt access settings to change from the default password, SSID).
I got the tplink wireless router, so I wouldnt have to be tethered with a wire on my laptop for internet. However, I've wasted time with tech support which I can barely hear or understand.I'd like to get this working, otherwise I'm sending everything back, wireless router and laptop.I can ping both the linksys and tplink from my laptop with no problems.I can get connected to the tplink wireless router without a problem but I cannot get to the internet.

I work at a company in the UK which is attempting to start rolling out Windows 7 to all computers (early adopters and all that, it's just a lot easier than the current mishmash of OSes we have!). One of the 4 users migrated so far is having an odd issue with her wired network (her network controller is a "Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet"). She's the only person not from the IT dept or the MD of the company to be moved across, so we set her up as a non-administrator to avoid problematic software etc etc.
Suddenly, 3 days ago, whenever she switched on her computer, the connection would claim "Limited or No Connectivity" (even though she appeared to be connected to the Domain), and there was no Internet access. Having played around with numerous things (driver updates, both from Broadcom and HP - the laptop manufacturer, being the main one), I found the only way to get it working again was to disable and re-enable the network controller. The problem with this is that it required a UAC authorization (even though I'd set UAC to never notify), and that requires a domain administrator password (which is a pain in the wotsit).
Anyway, I figured, reluctantly, that if I set her account up as a local administrator, that at least it shouldn't require a password to reset the device. Rebooted the PC, and suddenly the wired network started working from boot without the need to reset the controller.
My question is - has anyone else had any issues with non-administrators being forced to reset their network controllers to get internet connectivity, and is there a known fix?

I recently replaced my wireless router and Bellsouth DSL modem with a single Netgear DGN2200 DSL modem/wireless router. The problem is my desktop which is wired, cannot see the laptop computers that are on the network via wireless connection. If I start a homegroup with one of the laptops, the other laptop can join but my desktop cannot (no "join now" option). If I start a homegroup with my wired desktop, neither laptop sees it.However, if I connect my desktop to the network using my USB wireless adapter, then I can establish a homegroup with either a laptop or the desktop with no problem.I have checked that IPv6 is enabled and that all the services listed in other posts are enabled. I'm fairly certain the cause is some setting in my router security, but I don't see anything that would prevent my desktop from linking. I can also get on the internet with no problem.

The wireless is one I share with my roommates and is fast. The wired NIC connects to a router which has slower internet. The reason I connect to the wired router is so my PC can talk to a linux machine, which I use for some data downloading/analysis.I want to disable internet from the wired connection but keep the ability to talk to other machines on the wired network. I just changed the IPv4 settings and deleted the DNS server information. Is this the best way to do so? I want the wireless to provide internet.

Last Friday my main desktop crashed (lost power to the machine) and on restarting the PC was unable to "identify" the network. By identify, I mean, when using "Network and Sharing Centre" on the basic network information page, the PC shows "Identifying" under "active networks" - no matter how long I leave the PC.
PC details
Model: Packard Bell Power x-30
Processor i7 870 @2.93GHz
RAM: 8GB
O/S: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Modem Router details
Netgear N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router
The main desktop is connected to the modem router (via Ethernet). The modem router is showing no sign of any problems itself, all the dashboard lights look ok (i.e. power is on, port 1 shows the Ethernet connection in place, both wireless bands are lit, the DSL is lit and so is the internet). The household contains a number of laptops which continue to work ok wirelessly and/or wired through Ethernet. Even mobile phones are accessing the wi-fi ok.
The DNS Server address looks ok, as that is the address of the web page to the router. I cannot access that web page (address) via the main desktop, but I can from other devices ok. Having gone through Device Manager the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller is showing as "working properly". I have tried pinging the DNS Server address, and that fail. I have gone through a system restore to a previous point (before the day of the crash) but that seems to have made no difference either.
I have attempted to set the IP addresses (for TCP/IPv4) directly
IP address 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
And therefore forced to set the DNS Server address too
Preferred DNS server: 192.68.0.1
But I don't know what to set for the alternate DNS Server, so left blank. This seems to step me forward, in that the device/network is now identified. However the internet access is still not work, as the "DNS Server is not responding".

I connect at home wirelessly with no issues using Windows 7 Ultimate on my Fujitsu laptop. I don't really understand all the different types of network but currently I share with no one, and under the network settings it states 'Home Network' and then 'Ready to Create.'I was away for work recently at another site and they have an open wi-fi for visitors to use on non-work laptops, so it's passworded but other than that, it's totally unrestricted.When I tried to connect it found the wi-fi network with full strength but would not identify and connect - the password was okay as I when I tried an incorrect one, it stated just that.

imple question: why does a shortcut to an exe on a network-drive display differently from one on my local drive?It's the same file, but the network ressource version looks FUBAR, while local version is pretty nice.Perhaps more to the point: any hints on changing it. The particular exe is compiled with an ico containing: 48x48 px, 32x32 px, 16x16 px (all in xp, hicolor, 16 colors). It looks like windows is displaying the 16x16 px version, and then resizing it, and perhaps adding a dash of ugly

We've got our machine plugged directly into the modem and it previously worked fine. At some point something happened and now I have to connect via wireless. When I go the Network and Sharing Center and click "Change Adapter Settings", the only thing in the folder is "wireless network connection". I know the plug in connection works because I tested it on a laptop. I can even find where I can "opt in" or enable a LAN connection.

Windows 7 build 7057 EEE 1000HE
I seem to have a situation where my wireless connection does not include my local network, so I cannot see or connect to any local computers on my network but I can connect to the Internet just fine wirelessly. Of course, if I wire into the Ethernet port I can see the local computers. I know I should be able to access the local computers wirelessly but I cannot seem to find the "switch" to combine local and Internet access.

I also got Windows Server 2012 and 2008 from being a student for free. I have a few programs I would like to be able to run 24/7 and this seems like a good solution. The thing is I don't have a ton of space right now so I would like to only need 1 monitor/mouse/keyboard. I also would rather not use a KMV. At my school we are able to log onto our windows user account on any computer in the school by connecting through the local network. I would love to somehow set this up on my new server and regular PC but don't know what its called or how to research it. It seems very similar to a VPS or remote desktop but is not really either.

I have just reinstalled Windows 7 64 bit and it won't see my local network. I'm running a hardwired network, my switch is a netgear RP614 set to act as a dhcp server. I had the 32bit version of windows 7 installed and that picked up its network address fine to start with and then just stopped working. I have tried hardcoding the ip address onto the network card but that makes no difference.My xp machine connected to the same network works fine.
It appears that windows 7 isn't picking up the ip address from the dhcp server as it should. it gets a default address of 169.254.107.37 whereas my network is 192.168.0.0 I have put in the default gateway and the dns server addresses that my isp uses but this makes no difference.
I have tried turning off the dhcp flag as recommended by microsoft in case that is the problem but that made no difference and it was working under 32 bit for a while without the flag turned off.
I have installed the nforce drivers in case it was the windows drivers causing the problem that made no difference. I have run a network capture and that shows that it is seeing the dhcp packets from the dhcp server.
I have done everything I can think of and everything I can find recommended by Microsoft but all to no avail. Any help with this greatly appreciated as I really like windows 7 and don't want to have to downgrade my system.
