I wouldn't make that assumption. I'd update/reinstall the NIC drivers just to make sure because that wouldn't hurt and it would help narrow down the troubleshooting. Otherwise, see if the host can get on line using Safe Mode With Networking. If it can, then you know something you have running in the background is the culprit. In that case, clean-boot troubleshooting is useful.

From: Jack on 17 Nov 2008 19:31 No, it is not a driver. I have uninstalled it and made a new install again (after reboot). I have noticed another thing, though. In Network Connections window I do not have listed Internet Connection icon nor Internet Gateway headline as I do have in my VPC guest and other computers on network. When I use 'Create a new connection' wizard it ends without any error, but the new connection is not made!!!!

It's very difficult to troubleshoot connectivity issues like this without being able to see the computer. I don't have any more ideas for you. Something must have changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't but I have no way of knowing what that would be. I'm sorry I was unable to help you.
