1173353 2011-01-29 02:14:00 if you have time and a copy of W7, you might want to install it and see if it works.

changing OS worked for me.
if it is running a older version of Windows, try to uninstall the Service Pack if that's ok with you.

I think limited connectivity isn't about settings. It's the OS with the hardware. When you are trying to connect to the network it pops up after bootup. Wired in my case and wireless in this case ... If you disable the wireless or wired in my case (yank cable) it goes away, once you re-enable, it pops up again when it negotiates..

Try to connect by cable and see if still there.
Then, create an image.

Install Windows 7 or uninstall a SP if you have one installed or install one if not installed.
