Hello, was wondering if there was a big difference in enterprise and professional on the networking side. We have two computers, one running Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit and one running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Whenever we reboot our switch, the enterprise edition disables the connection and won't automatically reconnect unless you click on diagnose. The professional edition does not have this problem. It automatically connects. When we installed them we changed no settings so they should be both set the same way. However is there some difference that I'm not aware of that could cause this?

Hi, Is there a difference in hardware between the two systems that you are testing? -- Mike Burr

Try to install all your network drivers and windows updates on the Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and check if the problem is persisting.
