Hey, I've had this problem with the RC 7100, now I've bought Windows 7 Ultimate,
I have an ethernet cable and the internet connection shows no connectivity when started up initially, I think sometimes it works but drops out regularly. Once I unplug and then plug it back in everything works fine.

Does anyone have any idea's why this happens, I don't like bending under my desk to unplug and plug in my ethernet cable every time I boot up Windows 7, I don't think it happens on OSX, I believe I can get straight on to a website.
I installed the Snow Leopard boot camp drivers and I also used Windows Update to check my ethernet drivers were up to date and they are according to Windows anyway.

I'm also unable to install an update for my broadcom network adaptor, it fails when I try and update it with Windows Update but I think it's to do with my wireless adaptor would that effect anything?
The error code I get is: Code 80070005.

The ethernet port or adaptor is called Intel Pro/1000 EB Network Connection with IO acceleration.

Does anyone know?
