I asked the Googles today and they told me to ask you what OS you are using and if your computer has something called an "Nvidia" in your computer. I'll ask the Googles again later once you give me an answer... Something tells me that they may know something about this.

Here, I found the solution.

I hid it somewhere though, just for fun. *Hint: Press the first link for great success!*

Heh.

So what is giving you this error? Windows or an application within windows?

Are you using a router? Cable or DSL? Windows XP,Vista or 7?

From the command prompt (Start -> Run -> 'cmd' -> Enter) run 'ipconfig /all' and record the information. You should see at least one gateway IP address listed.
When you get your error, run the same command and compare the information. You can also try to ping the gateway from the command prompt using 'ping <gateway ip address>' to see if it responds.

What a gateway is, is a router on your network that is used to route traffic in and out. Every network acts like a nation on to it's self. You need a minimum of one router (you can have more then one, but you always need to specify a default) for traffic to pass between your network and the next.

Generally your default gateway is either your linksys/dlink/belkin router that you bought. Otherwise you will be using your ISP's router.
In either case, your gateway is usually specified by your DHCP server.

I have seen problems with brand new/MS supplied Windows 7 network drivers randomly disabling the network interface. See if there are recent Windows 7 drivers directly from NVidia.

Here's my ipconfig


I'm not using a router, it's a direct plug into the wall, but it's a school connection, I'm sure the wall is connected to a router at the IT building.
Win7, and i think it's cable....might be one of them T lines

OK, that makes things much easier.

Lets start first by updating your network card to the newest drivers available from the chip-set manufacture, not the laptop vendor.

Launch the Device Mangler (Start, run 'devmgmt.msc') and expand the 'Network Adapters' section. Double-click on your wired network adapter.
Click on the 'Details' tab and select 'Hardware IDs' from the property drop down box.

Please post the first line (or a screen-shot if easier).


Yes, there are other ways of finding which network card is in use, but the PCI vendor/device IDs tell me exactly which chip-set is in use and which subversion and revision. You cannot get that accurate without opening the PC/Laptop and physically looking at the chip. Guessing from a vendor description may yield incorrect information.

Ah, Realtek 8168 v3. I am using a v2.

Try the Windows 7 32/64 Auto Installation Program from: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/down...Down=false
It should solve your issue.

*Realtek makes it really hard to directly link to drivers. You can also try this link, but it may not work: ftp://WebUser:nQJ4P7b@152.104.238.19/cn/nic/Install_Win7_7017_03232010.zip

Alright, if this works i should know from 8pm to midnight
thats usually when it decides to act up

Needs moar glass effects.

Perfect.

I had the same problem with my Win7 install, only with a different error message.
The default Microsoft drivers for that specific Realtek network card are faulty. The official drivers fix it all up there.
