SP1 causes a cycle of connects and disconnects on my wired network
connection. Problem disappears when I uninstall SP1 but reappears when I
reapply SP1. My connection is through an Intel Pro/1000 CT chipset on an
ASUS P4C800-E motherboard going to a Netgear WGR614 v7 router. Problem
remains even if I uninstall my Avast antivirus software. Just using Vista's
native firewall. The network icon in the system tray cycles through a yellow
warning sign going on and off.

I've tried the repair connection option in Vista but it doesn't find any
problem. I uninstalled the driver for the card hoping a reinstall would
rebuild and fix the problem but it made no difference. I'm using Microsoft's
drivers for the NIC chipset. I power cycled the router but that made no
difference. But as I said, uninstalling sp1 restores a normal network
connection.

An ipconfig when the connection is good shows an IP in proper range for the
DHCP from my router. At the disconnect, yellow warning sign, it shows no IP.

I've attached entries from the system log that illustrates what happens in a
reconnect cycle. I deleted the XML event data for brevity but can add it to
this thread if it's necessary.

do you have the latest firmware for the Netgear router?
have you unbound IPv6 from the NIC?
is power management for the NIC turned off in device manager so that
it is always on?

I had the latest firmware and I had already turned off the power mgmt on the
network chipset. But you hit the mark in the having IPv6 unbound. I've
done a couple enable / disable cycles on IPv6 and the problem consistently
occurs when IPv6 is bound and goes away when it's unbound.

Thank you for your prompt response on a weekend no less with a remedy that
really worked.

I am having the same issues with constant disconnects.
How does one unbound IPv6 from the NIC?

Thanks

DJ

done a couple enable / disable cycles on IPv6 and the problem consistently
occurs when IPv6 is bound and goes away when it's unbound.

Thank you for your prompt response on a weekend no less with a remedy that
really worked.

is power management for the NIC turned off in device manager so that
it is always on?

SP1 causes a cycle of connects and disconnects on my wired network
connection. Problem disappears when I uninstall SP1 but reappears when I
reapply SP1. My connection is through an Intel Pro/1000 CT chipset on an
ASUS P4C800-E motherboard going to a Netgear WGR614 v7 router. Problem
remains even if I uninstall my Avast antivirus software. Just using Vista's
native firewall. The network icon in the system tray cycles through a yellow
warning sign going on and off.

I've tried the repair connection option in Vista but it doesn't find any
problem. I uninstalled the driver for the card hoping a reinstall would
rebuild and fix the problem but it made no difference. I'm using Microsoft's
drivers for the NIC chipset. I power cycled the router but that made no
difference. But as I said, uninstalling sp1 restores a normal network
connection.

An ipconfig when the connection is good shows an IP in proper range for the
DHCP from my router. At the disconnect, yellow warning sign, it shows no IP.

I've attached entries from the system log that illustrates what happens in a
reconnect cycle. I deleted the XML event data for brevity but can add it to
this thread if it's necessary.

Thanks

Thanks Barb,
I tried that unbinding but still having the same issues with contant network
disconnects
using my Realtek 8139 NIC on my Acer laptop. I click a site, it works, then
next click nothing,
then it works...etc...
This all began with Via SP1 installation and does
not occur when using my wireless network, only my wired one.

Yes, thanks I tried that as well as falling back to an older driver, no
change. Guess I am left with the only thing to do , uninstall SP1, which I
would not prefer because it did speed up my system substantially.

You would help us all out if you would try to plow through this and find out
why it's not working. Dropping back means you still have the problem to
solve in the future and new updates may require SP1 to be installed.
