Hi, extremely simple problem here:

When I boot up my Macbook Pro in BootCamp, the ethernet works, but when I disable the ethernet, and re-enable it, the system returns an "Unidentified Network" prompt and something along the lines of not being assigned an IP address. What is the solution here (apart from the obvious logging off and logging back on which fixed the issue)

[Update]: It seems like logging off/on with both the Ethernet and Wireless ENABLED causes only the wireless to work. The ethernet won't work despite toggling enabled/disabled. If I log off with Wireless disabled, and only Ethernet enabled, Ethernet does work without a hitch.
