For the past month I've been having this issue involving my computer disconnecting from and connecting to the internet.
I have Windows 7 (x64) and there is only one (that is: mine) PC connected to the router/modem (non-wireless). There is a periodic burst of "Identifying" with the spinning blue wheel then disappear again to try again a few seconds later. It happens once in every 10-15 seconds. I do not have wireless connection in my house. I've already determined it's my computer and not a problem with the router/modem because it happens with both network connection (public and home). The cable isn't loose. Every time another computer is connected to the same connection as mine, that computer has no problems.
I have two network cards (Realtek and Marvell Yukon), but I disabled Realtek (red X is displayed on the icon) in order not to interfere with the other one.
Troubleshooting did not help.
Marvell Yukon driver is from 2012, but there ain't no new updates after that date.
I've read here on forum about similar problems and tried the suggested solution :
---
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
Reboot the machine.
------
But to no avail. I am not sure if my network supports capability of obtaining an IP address automatically. In any case, after reseting to installation defaults I noticed that TCP/IPv4 fields had became blank (IP address, subnet mask and default gateway) so I filled the blank fields manually, according to IP settings given from my network administrator.
The problem persists.
For the most part I've been living with it, but it's really annoying and if I can find a way to fix it that would be great.
