Dell T3500 with Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx - cannot connect internet on start-up
Hello All, When I start my computer in the morning, the 57xx cannot connect to the internet. Right now my only solution is to disable, then re-enable the card in Device Manager. I'm running all Win 7 updates & the 57xx is using Broadcom's Ver:14.6.1.0 drivers. I've read posts online about Adobe Bonjour causing this issue, but I don't have it installed. Bonjour is installed through Apple software, most likely for use with Quicktime. Is this the same program? Any help would be appreciated. RADA

I would contact broadcom, I have that exact card and had issues with it and Windows 7 and Server 2008. I got the latest drivers and it appears to have worked for Windows 7, server 2008 still complains... :(:P Advice offered, If you need more help it is advised to seek the council and advice of paid professionals. The answer is always 42, or reboot.

Hi, Try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking. If this happens to work then there is some task or service on the machines causing this strange behavior, please try Clean Boot to narrow down root cause.
