I'm wondering if anyone can help me. Dell is clueless (no huge surprise
there) amd Intel won't help me. At Vista startup, my NIC/Lan connection
comes up in the tasktray with a caution icon over it. Yellow triangular sign
with an exclamation point in it. When I diagnose and repair, I have to use
the option to reset the device, power it on and off, to get it work. From
there, my internet works great and I get good speed. But why do I need to
this everytime? What is causing the problem?
This is a fresh install of Vista Home Premium with no apps except windows
installed apps.
Here's the info on what I have done so far.
NIC Card Intel 82566DC Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel Chipset 965
My network is an always on broadband cable connection. 7 megs
I have a linksys VOIP router in the middele.
I have eliminated the router and connected straight from the modem. No
change.
I have made sure I have the most up to date drivers from dell and intel.
Chipset and NIC. Of course Intel is newer.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Nothing changes. Even
manually deleted the drivers and nothing.
I have booted in safe mode with networking and the same problem exists. I
believe this should rule out other driver/application conflicts.
I have no exclamation points in the device manager.
Any help or ideas is much appreciated.
