From time to time (twice a day, once a week - hard to tell really), I suddenly get "Limited access" on my internet connection, and I see no obvious reason for this.

  • It's on a wired network, so no unstable WLAN-issues here

  • It's not the router nor the modem, everything works fine with my two other computers (both wired and WLAN).

  • Motherboard with NIC is an Asus Striker Extreme (2x 1000mbit). Tried both. Both have the same problem.

  • I'm running Windows 7 RC. This never happened when using Vista. Could possibly be some driver not being stable in Win7, but if so - which one? Tried several motherboard driver versions (including NIC-driveres).

  • Disabling and then enabling the network connection often fixes it. Not always though - sometimes i just have to wait for a few minutes.

  • No error messages anywhere

Anyone seen this before? I'd really like this fixed, it's damn annoying.

  • Can you check the DNS settings and try to ping IP address if you still have the issue?

  • Although I'd like to try this, I no longer can, as this is almost seven years old.

Do you have the Cisco VPN Client installed? That caused me massive problems with my Win7 setup, and something similar to what you describe.
