    Seems that Windows 7 has issues with certain motherboard based network controllers for Dell systems like the 530/530S.  We have resolved these issues by disabling the onboard NIC and adding a cheap "Windows 7 compatible" NIC.  Can someone please explain technically what the issue is from a hardware and software standpoint.  And explain why after so many years..network adapters are becoming a problem again.

    Thanks!

    This forum, as the header says, if for

    Issues relating to the Windows 7 Software Protection Platform - Non-Genuine, validation problems, or software licensing services messages

    I recommend the Answers Windows 7 Networking forum at

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking?page=1

    Or a TechNet equivalent.

    Gee, I thought I was posting this in a MS Partner Support page for Windows 7 networking.

    No, I think that MS has screwed up the old MS partner forums and I can't find them any more!
