Dell vostro computers, windows 7 with gateway 0.0.0.0 problem

Monday, July 19th, 2010

We’ve been seeing this problem in Dell Vostro computers with windows 7, where the DHCP retrieved address contains a second invalid gateway of 0.0.0.0 .   Sometimes disabling and renabling the network card works, but the problem reappears eventually.   Apparently, the long term solution is to disable a service called:

##Id String1.6844F930 _1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##   - Apple computer

 To do this, one way is to click on Start –> Run –> type in msconfig , press enter

Go to the Services tab, locate that service name ##Id_String etc etc## , and remove the checkmark.

 The network connection should immediately start working again.
