Hi,
Yet more grief from this board (over a month now, one thing after another)
Finally got to a stage where I loaded Windows 7 64bit but can't get network connectivity. Installed the LAN driver from the CD provided. I have managed to ping my router a couple of times, but this doesn't last. Windows reports no cable. There is a cable & the cable is OK. Tried another known good cable. Same problem.
Tried with Vector Linux live disk and still no connectivity so not a Windows problem.
Then tried downloading the driver from Intel & still no joy.
It appears that the system is trying to initialise the LAN adapter as the green socket LED lights up for a period then goes out for a period. During this cycle, Windows is trying to do something but can't.
