Hi, we 12 Dells on an office network, all working fine except that one Optiplex 3310 with 8mb RAM running Windows 7 professional doesn't connect to the Internet on startup.  Each time we start up the computer it can see the network, storage drives etc but cannot connect to the internet. If I disable then enable the network adapter it is fine. One suggestion I received was to uninstall the adapter then install it again, but just thought I would ask here before I try that. Many thanks
Network adapter has to be disabled then enabled after start up
