Still not allowing Internet acces, claims it's the router.
Hardware. HP DV6000 RX945AV laptop, or as SIV identifies it, a Compaq Presario V6133CL (it also shows the DV6000 RX945AV). HP site has Vista drivers for the Compaq, only XP for the HP, despite the fact Vista was an available option. (They're the same bleeping laptop, despite minor cosmetic diffs!)
AMD Turion 64 X2 CPU.
Ethernet adapter is nVidia nForce
WiFi is Broadcom 802.11g
Windows 10 build 1511 with the July 12 Servicing Stack Update.
The symptom is the same one so many have suffered with. "Connected" by LAN or WiFi but "limited". Run the troubleshooter and it flat out lies to the user that the problem is the router or modem isn't communicating with the internet, while other computers are having no problem. It may also pull the other one and claim "Problem? No problem here!"
I can get it to work by running an elevated Command Prompt, doing NETCFG -D twice, closing the command prompt then rebooting.
That works until it's rebooted or shut down then booted up again.
What makes this problem especially annoying is it doesn't pop up right away. The internet connection worked long enough for the 10 upgrade to download updates (for some reason it missed the Servicing Stack Update, I had to install that offline) and for some hours after it was finished then suddenly *PLIP* no internet and it's been resisting getting fixed ever since.
I have installed a slightly modded version of the latest BIOS which removed the whitelist for mini PCIe WiFi adapters, so I could install a different one to try. I have several but they're all from the Windows Vista to 7 era so would likely experience the same problem. Swapping out the WiFi wouldn't do anything for the built in Ethernet.
Does anyone have any nForce and Broadcom drivers that have stayed working?
