I run Windows 7 on a partitioned drive, Ubuntu on C drive and Windows 7 RC on the D drive. There is a laptop that runs Vista that also connects to the home network. Whenever I boot into Win 7, I have no access to the internet.


When going into the Network and Sharing Center, I see that I have two active networks.




Using trial and error, I found a way to fix this but the problem creeps up again upon the next start-up. I disable the connection and then use Troubleshoot to connect to the Network once more.













Does anyone have a quick solution that I may implement to prevent me from doing the same procedure over and over again?

This sounds like a driver issue, since it's booting up with a problem. I'd try updating the drivers first, obviously this is not normal. I have Win7 running on two computers, one is the RC, the second one is now running the release version, and I've never seen this kind of issue.

I think that my drivers are up to date, where would I be able to check if an update is available?

That depends on the source of the system. For brand name packaged systems, the manufacturer. For a "home brew", the motherboard maker or NIC maker.
