Windows 7 no internet connection on boot.

[Widget]

Everytime I turn on my machine since installing Windows 7 I have no internet connection. I have tried both Firefox & IE 8 and both will not load any webpages and I can't even log onto to my router.

The router is working fine as my xbox and other PCs in the house can connect to the internet ok but the only way I can get it working on my Win 7 PC is to reboot the router and then it kicks into life.

Any ideas as it's pretty annoying having to mess around everytime!

tried manually configuring the interface with a static address?

Just tried setting a static IP and it still doesn't work.

Are you using a wireless or an ethernet connection?

Wired ethernet conection.

I will try finding some new drivers, as I note I have found just taking the ethernet cable out the back of the pc and plugging it back in causes it to kick into life, saves a reboot anyway.

Edit/ Just checked the Shuttle website and there was a new LAN driver dated 23rd October for Windows 7, have now installed and the internet worked from a cold boot! Fingers crossed that fixed it.

I have now tried the latest drivers and switching off the power management options which has improved things but it is still not right. It probably works 75% of the time I boot my machine but the rest of the time I still have no network connection and have to reboot the router, very infuriating!
