(i registered when i saw the post in windows secrets)

I had the same problem this week on an ASUS rampage formula using 2x gigabit marvel network points and on a Asus striker 2 extreme using 2 x gigabit network adaptors. The striker 2 extreme had win xp pro 32 bit on it before the reinstallation and it worked fine in gigabit mode

The communal factor was that I installed win 7 64 bit on both.

I had downloaded the latest nvidia whql drivers for the striker 2, and had also tried the windows drivers for same. Most google links says to go and do things with ipconfig or change the network cable (or that the port has gone)

I had done a clean install so it shouldnt be neccesary for anything to do with ipconfig. I knew the cable and the network ports were working as it was working previously on the striker 2

the non-ideal solution is to set the network port to 100. then it works. stupid and silly how it may seem.

Dont ask me how the WHQL process works – too many people has the problem on win7-64 bit. microsoft typically says to get another cable or network card.

A friend said he encountered the same problem on win7 64, and using either the windows native drivers, or loading the 32 bit drivers works. I havent tried it yet.
