Hi guys,
Got a bit of a puzzle here.
On my main Windows 7 machine, when it starts up, it detects two networks that are unidentifiable. So obviously this means no internet for me.
The only way to fix it seems to be setting a static IP, which then only shows the one network I'm connected to (which is correct) but still has no internet connection. Only when I do a Troubleshoot Problems with Windows does it return a "DHCP not enabled" issue, applies that as admin and it starts to work.
I always leave it in DHCP, as a static IP always gave me this issue when I moved to wired. It's puzzling to say the least, as it definitely works, but Windows insists that I force it to repair it. Should it not be doing this on startup, as it is set to automatic anyways?
Anyways, I have updated the drivers to the latest for the network adaptor and this hasn't changed much. I recently got a bigger SSD so I have a clean build on here as well.
I'm really confused as to what it could be, anyone got any ideas so I can fix this once and for all?
EDIT:
I had to disable the Bonjour service (which is odd, because I don't have anything Apple installed) but it was called ##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##. Upon disabling that service, I no longer have issues connecting. Damnit Apple.
