Hope to get some suggestions for a problem with an Asus P5n-E SLI motherboard and the onboard Nvidia Network Controller.I have a cable connection through Cox Cable.The problem is if I reboot the computer I cannot get on the internet. The network icon in the tray will say unidentfied network limited connectivity, and I cannot get on the network which is a cable connection through Cox Cable. If I power down the computer completely, cold start, stay down a few minutes then I can usually get back on after three or more shutdowns. Another thing sometimes the Icon will say Network 2 if I mouse over it and I have a good connection. Other times I will mouse over and it will say just Network, and that gives me a good connection. Once I get a good connection it stays good unless I have to power down. When I get unidentified network I get the yellow exclamation point, and again three or more cold boots before i get a good connection.Does anyone else have experience with this problem, I suspect it is a faulty onboard network controller, another reason to not have on board stuff with your motherboard!! BUT there you have it, I wanted this computer :-) What thinks all of You?ThanksDonald E. Donovanwb5okj

When it isn't working, what do you see when you do an ipconfig /all and arp -a ? Have you tried powering down and restarting the modem? Ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew ?scott s..
