| BB50 Upgrade Ok, so I recently upgraded to BB50 from Extreme and I got a new Cisco mode that replaces my old blue Motorola modem.
I have a problem though - I set it up and the wifi works, but I have a desktop that is directly connected to it using one of the Ethernet ports. Whenever I turn on the desktop computer, the internet does not work. What I have to do is, go to Network settings, disconnect the internet, Troubleshoot, and then Windows fixes a problem - The Local Area Connection Adapter is disabled - Fixed. Then everything works. I have to do this everyday when I turn on the computer (only the desktop, the wifi is working 100%). What should I do to fix this? Did anyone experience a similar problem?
Thanks. |

Sounds like a DHCP issue. Get online tech support to try and reload the modem or replace it. Or have it put into Bridge mode and use your own router. |

Sounds like your network card is having speed negotiation issues with the Cisco gateway. Is your network card made by Intel or Nvidia by any chance? The newest drivers from either manufacturer has been known to clear up these sorts of problems.

Well if i had a problem with the wifi, I would have done that. But the wifi is always working, and the ethernet too works, I see the light on the modem, my computer doesn't seem to recognize/connect on its own. I have to manually troubleshoot and it auto fixes the problem, the problem is always the same as I said above.
Besides, my old router is a very old G router, don't want to use that. |

Edmonton, AB | I'll also put in a suggestion to check your network cable. If your Realtek NIC is Gbit (10/100/1000) compliant, ensure that you are using CAT5e cable vs CAT5. Older G routers from years back shipped with basic CAT5 cable which is not certified to work with Gigabit network devices.

Alright, cable eliminated. Let us know if the driver update works. |
|
| Updating drivers didn't really help, but I noticed something strange - whenever I open the Device Manager and click update Driver or Revert back to last driver for the network card, the network connection resets and the internet comes. It seems like a really minor problem in communicating. |

| I have dual boot, so I restarted in Linux Mint. Everything is working in Linux Mint. Go figure,.,  |
|
| So it seems its a Windows problem. But my other W7 laptops are working fine, so whats the problem with W7 desktop? |

Read it wrong, using wired, not wireless. |

You said in your first post, Local Area Connection - Disabled.
If the problem is that everytime you restart, your NIC is disabled, this will definately stop you from getting online.
I would be looking for what is causing that, first.

| I searched for hours last night on how to fix this and it seems its a known Windows 7 problem. I'll try some of the suggested solutions posted on the web to see if it can be fixed. |
