Connecting to new network without rebooting
I'm having a problem connecting to networks without re-booting.
Simply: I work at home on a wireless network, put my computer to sleep, drive to work, and plug in to the work Ethernet cable. I wake my computer, and it finds the work network. However, I have no connectivity. Doing a "route print" shows 169.* (autoconfigure, worthless) routing. I unplug the Ethernet cable (and maybe even disable and re-enable the Ethernet adapter) and "route print" is back to very simple (4-entry) routing that looks right (just local loopback adapter). I re-connect, and I'm back to the same crazy routing with no real connectivity. It doesn't matter if I completely disable and turn off my wireless connectivity -- the problem still exists. It's not due to an attempt to connect to some local wireless network. Re-booting the computer completely fixes the problem. My IT person swears that all is fine on our network and our DHCP server. He says it's a glitch in Vista networking. Can anyone reproduce this problem? Can anyone point me to any knowledgebase articles about this? Are there any workarounds? I'd prefer not to have to re-boot every time I switch to my work network. Thanks!

Try to re-set power management or use static IP instead of DHCP. This search result may help,

Thanks.
Didn't work for me. My work network -- the trouble one -- is not wireless. The problem presents when just plugging in Ethernet. I've re-set power management and am working at the high-performance power setting, plugged in. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Try to re-set power management or use static IP instead of DHCP.
