My error changed. Now windows 7 just can't identify the connection? i guess...i had a similar problem that i posted about, about a week ago. what i did was uninstall the drivers to the nic and then delete the network locations.... but that was for the WIFI....idk if it will work for you


oh.....i should have read the rest of the posts NVMI've uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. Still no luck. I'm assuming it's best to call the ISP at this point. ggrrrr...Did u check network services?
>services.msc
and check them are start or stop.
