Guys,

Need help here

Had Win7 RTM verion installed few days back

After installing the LANcard driver, setup the Network it prompted after plugging in the 1st ADSL connection (Dataone) - created pppoe dialer for it

Then when I connected the 2nd ADSL connection (TATA) to another modem (took RCA cable from LAN card and plugged it into this modem) - setup pppoe dialer for this as well

Prompted for another network name (like TATA 2), created it

Now when i dialup and use it for sometime, disconnect and again re-dial

the Network changes to Unidentified network and does not connect

Just says "connecting to PPPOE" and stops there

I never had this problem on Vista

On Vista - it creates Base - Network

and for 1st line, creates Dataone network and 2nd - TATA network

on Windows 7, it doesnt create in this way

I had to format and reinstall Vista again as internet was not connecting properly

I have to restart both PC and modem for connecting once, next time, gain comes up - Unidentified network

TIA for long read

Regards

When i connect using dialer ( setup the modem in bridged mode)
It says - Connecting to WAN PPPOE, waits for sometime and say 'Could not connect to PPPOE'
normally it comes - verifying username and password and registers to network

When i check the Network and Sharing page during this sequence, it says
Unidentified Network - no network access
 
What if you setup your modem to handle PPPoE.
Set it up that way. See if your connection drops.

Doesnt help for me, as I am not bandwidth restricted and time based plans and not UL

The thing is once i disconnect the dialer and try to reconnect, the Network changes to Unidentified and I cannot connect after that unless I restart both PC and modem

FIX is mentioned here
Will need to try after I reinstall Win7 later once i get some time

***REALLY SOLVED THIS TIME! - VERIFIED CAUSE***

Check to see if you have this little devil in your services list:

"##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B87 9762 ##"

If you do, stop it and disable it. It is actually the Bonjour DNS Responder Service, and I believe it is the cause of the "Unidentified Network."

The Unidentified Network disappeared after stopping this service and a quick disable/enable of the NIC, restoring Internet access.

I Actually just rebooted, edited this post, and then re-enabled the offensive service to see what would happen...Immediately after enabling the NIC and this bastard service, the "Unidentified Network" returned...stopped it, disabled it, disable/enable NIC...Internet back up and running and no "Unidentified Network." (woot - woot!)

Hope that helps! I haven't had issues since...
FYI - I experienced this in both build 7100 and 7127...I am running 7127 now x64 - and discovered this fix just last night...so far so good just rebooted and then edited this post...I believe this fix will solve 7100 build issues too; however... I have not tested 7100 again yet.

...I also re-enabled Win 7's Discovery Mapping services, but always leave IPv6 disabled just because I am not using it.

...another two reboots, and a hard disk addition, and no problems with the Internet! - If you tried another fix such as changing the address of your network adapter, under "Advanced" - this is not necessary...I set mine back to "Not Configured." Everything is working fine as long as the Bonjour service is not running...another reason to hate the French? LOL

Oh i didnt know that
This was a fix i copied from that forum

I actually didnt have any Itunes installed on my PC that time, so may be this fix is not the right fix at all
