RC build 7100;HP Pavilion w/ Intel Core 2 Duo P7350@ 2.00 GHz; 4gb ram; 64bit Having read this section I'm probably whipping a dead horse but here goes: hardwire network works but I have to reconnect every time I boot. Wireless works but cuts out the hardwired connection. If I have the ethernet cable connected I cannot I cannot get the wireless to connect. I have to start at the bottom and create a new wireless connection. Realtek came with laptop; 1 year old next month.

Have you tried uninstalling the NIC and Wireless cards, shutdown, pull the plug or battery, let sit for a minute or 2, plug back in or batter back in, etc...so Windows can reinstall??GA P32 DQ6 Mb, Intel Wolfdale 8600 3.33Ghz C2D CPU., 4x2Gb Mushkin DDR2 1066 PC2 8500 Ascents Memory Mods., 4-Western Digital Caviar SATA(2) HDD's (internal), 1 EIDE-USB External; Hauppauge PVR 1600 TV tuner, Dual Monitor: (1) Standard up top, (1) WideScreen below; Altec Lansign Speakers...

Did you install a driver from realtek's website?

Nope

Tonyd48,You should go get the newer drivers from the Realtek website. This has fixed issues for a lot of people.
