I have exactly the same problem.
My nic is an onboard one from an asus p5k motherboard:
Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T
driver is atl01v64.sys
Windows Vista 64bit
It worked at first, then after a failed bios upgrading and reflashing
with eprom burner it stopped working. All I get now is Unidentified
network. I have reinstalled the drivers in every way possible, I have
removed the allow windows to shut it down. I have entered a mac address
as a preset in the card config, I have unchecked ipv6 but nothing seems
to have an effect.
I have a physical firewall and that has been rebooted, it has been
shutoff for half an hour, I have tried without it but to no avail. I can
see that I am sending packets but I am not receiving any. I only get the
169.. adress. I have entered a correct ip address in the tcp/ip settings
with and without gateway yet am unable to ping anything on my lan (same
thing, sending packets not receiving any).
I use an usb wireless card from zyxel, that is what gives me internet
access atm but I am not overly fond of wireless, in fact I loath it.
What I do have are tunnel interfaces, dont know what they are for?
