Upgraded to Windows 7 16 bit last night. My NIC cards worked fine under Vista, can't find any updated drives that would fit with Windows 7. The problem is that I keep losing internet connection. I run the trouble shooting step offered by the default windows options and it basically bounces the NIC and it comes back up, but will drop again in a few minutes. Just adding this to discussion to see if there known driver issues or if this needs to be added to the list.

This sounds very similar to problems I've been having. The new Release Candidate seems to have the issue partially solved--in that the connection drops two to three times a day as opposed to two to three times every five minutes. My MB is an ASUS Striker II Forumla with two NICs.

Hi there, I had the same problems. Mine in now fixed. I did a few things thought. I uninstalled all VPN programs I had and I unistalled all NVidia Networks drivers. I then went to Control Panel - Device Manager and selected my Network Cards and then selected Propeties and then I uninstalled the Networkd cards. Restarted my PC and then Windows 7 installed the drivers and since then I had no problems with my NIC going dead anymore. Been running for more the 24 hrs now without any problems. Please try and let me know if it worked for you. Cheers

Tried your solution Hhunted, the drivers that loaded where the same as before nvm62x32.sys I have isolated the problem to seem to be that when I do anything streaming or downloading that it trips out the nics and then gives me the error message default gateway not found. I have tried both my nic cards through my switches and straight to the modem. Trips out when streaming or downloading again. Tried updating an online game and after the update started I lost connection.

Woot, it looks like this is not only a driver-side issue. I got the same problem,posted it in another thread that left the front page. But when i remove the nForce 15.35 Drivers released by nvidia for Win7, the problem is fixed. 15min after clean install : exploner.exe Trojan Horse on Win7

Techalt: Did you ever try LuCky2k9's suggestions? Did anything work? -Nick

LuCky2k9 suggestion worked out in the end. had a few issues with what driver wanted to be in there and it still timed out when I downloaded fresh clients of certain online games, but for the past 3 weeks it has been pretty stable, no getting kicked of with the drivers windows 7 decided to put in place.

I have an HP dv6910us running Windows 7. The nForce controller stopped working. I downloaded the latest nForce drivers from Nvidia, (nForce Series 9), canceled the setup program and force Windows (over its objections) to load the ethernet driver. Ethernet is now working.
