New Problem, Old Issue. Ethernet not Working

You may recall this thread: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/FIOS-Ethernet-not-working-Wireless-works-fine/td-p/203838
If you do, well, I have the same issue once more. It's driving me a bit nuts, to be perfectly honest.
About 10 days ago I finally had a stable ethernet connection on my Desktop machine to the internet. 8 days ago I marked the other thread as solved as it was still working and thought that my problems had been solved. Unfortunately, here I am 10 days later and suddenly, without warning, the ethernet connection on my Desktop loses internet connectivity.
I tried turning the router off and then turning it back on, but none of that worked.
Right now it switches between two different states without little indication as to why it switches between them except that it tends to only do it as a I unplug the cable and then plug it back in. The two states are simply connecting to an "Unidentified Network" which is much the same as the problem I had before, and connecting to an "Unidentified Network" with "Internet Access", except, none of the applications that use internet on the computer actually have Internet access even in this state. The Unidentified Network is the key to knowing I still don't truly have internet access.
Windows Firewall is off. It's actually been off for awhile now because I forgot to turn it back on after I initially shut it off trying to get it to connect before. Windows 7 (64-bit) is up-to-date, so that's not the issue either. But something is at issue here and I'm not sure what it is. Since the Wireless works, and the Desktop downstairs works on the ethernet, I can only assume it's something with this Desktop. But I'm not sure what it is or why it's doing this.
Any help with isolating the problem so I can actually fix it and not wait almost two weeks for it to magically work again would be immensely appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there Viafax and Spacedebris!
Apologies for not responding sooner. I decided to take a look at a Windows 7 support forum to see if the issue was something specific to that. After explaining in detail, I got this post and I followed the steps. I posted the information I got and then tried the duplex thing.
The default setting it seems is "Auto Negotiation" which obviously wasnt working.
I tried 100 Mbps Half Duplex and suddenly I had a connection. I can connect to the internet on my Desktop! So I tried 100 Mbps Full Duplex and.... no connection.
So, right now it's set to Half Duplex. But I don't even understand why it would need to be Half instead of Full, or the benefits or disadvantages to either. Right now it's working, but I wish I understood more.
The 192.168.1.25 may have been a typo, since I set the device to run off a static IP of 192.168.1.125, to my knowledge no device on the network has 192.168.1.25
But other than that brief typo, I do believe the rest of the information is as accurate as I could make it. I typed it as I looked for it, so even if it seems odd, that's what it was.

I changed my appleID, it worked fine but now I can not restore icloud backup in a new ipad (old appleid does not work and it is grey colored so I'm unable to change it)

Some months ago I changed my email address and so my appleID. Everything worked fine, but last week my ipad broke and when I tried to restore my icloud backup in my new ipad it does not work: it asks me for the password of the OLD appleID (it doesnt work); and in icloud configuration page the field for appleid is colored grey so I can not change it.
any clues? thank you in advance

My suggestion is to change apple id back. I know it is not something you want to hear, but there are suppose to be ways around it and usually they work, but not right now. I suspect that is consequences of Apple getting their servers ready for ios7. Normally in your situation - you should be able to get all your stuff back, but apps, and then you can sync those or download from icloud. But lately (last week) it does not seem to work normal way.

New Macbook, old HDD, TM not working :-(

I have got me a new Macbook, I pulled the HDD out of my old MB and installed it in the new one, as you'd expect that all went fine. Only problem is Time Machine has stopped working. When I launch it I can only see "today", however if I view the harddrive used to store time machine all the backups are physically there.
I'm guessing this is down to the fact that it's a different Macbook, but how can I get TM to work with the new MB?

This same issue happens to me frequently. I've lived with it for the most part just because I didn't want to spend my time running down Apple's glitch. I can not tell if it is a hardware, firmware, or software issue. I have a case number which is 163792369 that I've had since June. I've never taken it in because it is not consistent. I'm leaning towards an OS glitch. I have searched Apple's archives and found one reference to it happening on an earlier version of OS-X, but I was afraid to install the patch because of version differences. Please let me know if you get a solution from the customer support. It is somewhat frustrating as this is my first experience with a Mac and I understand it's a complex piece of machinery from a hardware and software perspective, but fresh out of the box the freak'in keys should work.
Thanks,

It just works??? Most of the time.

Ethernet not working on brand new portable

Ethernet not working. This is a new portable.
Troubleshooting message: The realtek PCIe GBE family controller adapter is experiencing driver or hardware related problems.
Reinstalled the driver multiple times .
Reinstalled the portable to factory default.
Only one ethernet controller driver available for this portable on the HP site so i used that one.

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the driver directly from Realtek. Fourth file on the list.

If that fails to do the job, I recommend you either return the PC if you can, or contact HP technical support and submit a support case under the warranty.

On right click nothing happens at all. I have reinstall the ODI multiple times with right installer. issue persist.
Please help.

Hi,
Did you use the generic installer or the win32 one ? You should use the former with Win64.
You can also check that your version of Java is supported in the certification matrix.

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

HT1589 how can i transfer my library to a new computer? old computer is not working

how can i transfer my i-tunes library to a new computer? my old computer is not working.

It has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy. Have you failed to do this? not good.
You would have to take the hard drive out of your old computer and connect it to your new and transfer the info.

My old laptop is not working. How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

my old laptop is not working. How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

Hi 1Donald,
To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
I hope this helps.

What is your technical support question for these user to user technical support forums?

Thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.

thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.
it will not happen in Mountain loin.

I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.

Installed ios 6 on new iPad and siri will not work.

Good morning, I installed ios6 on the new iPad and siri will not work. Each time I try to use siri she says "uh oh, I'm having a problem. Please try again. I have tried turning siri off and back on again. Resetting the iPad, resetting the network, turning Airplane Mode off and on again. All to know avail. My iphone 5 works great and so does my wife's iphone 4s with ios6. I have called Apple support but there only suggestion was that the servers were busy. If that was the case my other devices would not work either. Plus the servers wouldn't be busy for four days. Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I was looking forward to using siri on the new iPad and other folks don't seem to be having a problem.
Thanks, and have a great day.

Then you need to change your device details as this still says iPad2.
It's very possible Apple's servers have been busy for 4 days as not everyone downloaded iOS 6 on the day it was announced. I downloaded it last Friday, myself, as an example.
There are a millions and millions of people using Apple iDevices.
Just because everything went fine with the iOS 6 updates of your iPhone 4 and 5 doesn't mean something couldn't have gone wrong with an update to your iPad3
If the iOS update missed something during the download, I am not sure how to go about re-downloading iOS 6 to fix the issue you are having.

New Smart Playlist Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

Using iTunes 7.5/Leopard 10.5.1
The shortcut for creating a new smart playlist (optcmdN) is not working. However, I can use the keyboard shortcuts for creating a new folder or a new playlist. Any of you have the same problem?
Thanks!

OK...this might be too simple to possibly be the answer...but is the number lock key down on your keyboard?
EDIT: Well... no, that can't be it...or the new folder and new playlist keys wouldn't work either. Have you downloaded any widgets or third-party apps recently?
