Everytime I reboot my PC in Vista I have to repair my IP

As title really.
When I reboot I can't connect to the Internet and I have to go through the DIAGNOSE & REPAIR function.

Any ideas?
 
I have the same problem. After every reboot I have to go into device manager and delete my onboard ethernet (as it shows as damaged) re-install it then re-do all my IPv4 settings :mad:

Read somewhere you need to turn off sleep mode on the device but did not work for me.

It might be quicker to right click on the NETWORK icon, click PROPERTIES and then click on DIAGNOSE & REPAIR like I do.

Somebody must have an answer for this?
 
Have you tried the MS Beta performance patches, as one of the fixed bugs is the gateway address being dropped.
I had this one, plus other annoyances with Vista and networking, which seem to have lessened since installing the 2 patches.

Running Vista x64 and x86 on a generic PC and a Macbook.
 
I had this problem when using DHCP to assign IP addresses. Fixed it by giving myself an IP address instead of having one assigned.

I assign myself one and have performance patches installed but still same issue.

Its a pain
 
i can only assume it's a network card driver problem. i've used both dhcp and static ip addresses on my vista pc with no problems. i have a really old mobo with onboard intel network card that has drivers builtin to vista. :p
 
I had the same problem with my wireless card which was being caused by the manufacturers config utility loading up and wrestling for control with the Windows Wireless Service. Preventing it from running at startup solved the problem.

In other cases like this setting the IP statically or disabling IPv6 seems to help matters but it is a wee bit mysterious and because so many things cause the same end result with no obvious tell-tale signs it can be a tough one to diagnose.

ad this guy says install the latest patches, seems to sort out a lot of network issues.
 
I have installed the latest patches, still the same. There has been 2 new drivers for my network card on Windows Update since Vista was released but issue still happened with both of them.
