Hi all,
I recently installed windows 7x64, but I've been running into an irritating issue that I find myself unable to solve. Windows will just not get an IP. Once in a while I manage to get an IP address and have it recognize my network, but most of the time I get "Unidentified Network" and the windows default ip of 169.XXX.XXX.XXX. The subnet seems to default to 255.255.0.0 for some reason instead of 255.255.255.0.
- My wireless card is able to connect, my integrated ethernet card works fine in ubuntu, and I cannot connect even when I bypass my router. That means it has to be windows and/or the drivers, correct?
- Is it possible that it has something to do with me unintentionally selecting "Public" network when I first installed the OS, and it being confused ever since? The default icon that shows up when I can't get an IP is a bench, representing a public network, even though I think I have since then changed it to private/home network. The icon changes to that of a home network if I manage to connect.
- I've tried several drivers, but I am incapable of getting them to work.
- Both with and without IPv6
- Setting manually to 100mbps full duplex
- I saw in one forum someone mentioning that the P5NSLI motherboard runs into issues with 4 gigs of ram, something to do with not being able to manage all it's peripherals, although I doubt the validity of that statement.
Specs:
Windows 7 x64
Asus P5NSLI Motherboard
Marvell Yukon integrated nic
4GB RAM
Thanks for the help! I'm out of ideas and buying another network adapter is impossible since I'm out of PCI slots.
