I am running three networked computers. My main machine is running Windows 7 RC, my secondary runs XP, and my wireless laptop runs Vista. When I boot all three in the morning, they all access the NETWORK without problem, but at least 80% of the time, the Windows 7 machine does NOT achieve INTERNET connection (cable), although the other two ALWAYS do. It can take anywhere from 2 to 6 or 7 reboots to get connected, and once it is, all runs fine. I am using a Linksys router and megabit adapters in both of the desktop machines. I have tried startup delay programs without success. I have tried disabling and enabling the NIC - nothing. A friend with a somewhat similar system reports that he has much the same problem. Please tell me that there is a simple answer!

Jump to PostI am also trying Windows 7 out and have experienced internet disconnections. I cannot find a reason for it. We may just have to wait until it is released.
Jump to PostCan't say have had any issues this end on two Win7 notebook.
Have you tried using the troubleshoot option, run from a right-click on the wireless sys-tray icon?
