Windows 7 is a great OS but there are some problems which should be solved from Microsoft as fast as possible. On my Computer the LAN connection randomly loses its connection. I don't know why but I think this problem depends on my network driver which is only available for Windows XP (where it always worked perfectly).

I can not reproduce this issue. Has anybody here had the same problem?

Hmmm... your NIC driver is only available for Windows XP and you're wondering why it doesn't work 100% on Windows 7? You're also thinking that this is an issue that Microsoft should fix ASAP? Well good luck in your quest. – joeqwerty Dec 8 '09 at 17:44

Do you have VirtualCloneDrive installed by any chance? I had a similar issue with my network connection. After lots of debugging I finally discovered that the device driver of VirtualCloneDrive was causing deadlocks in the kernel. Uninstalling the driver and application completely solved it for me.

Try disabling IPv6 in adapter settings.
