Windows 7 – Network Problems during upgrades

Many Windows users have reported network problems while moving from Vista to Windows 7 or even during an upgrade from Windows 7 Beta to the RC version. Networking issues range from missing network icons on the system tray to VPN connection problems and homegroup problems.

The Network icon on the system tray may sometimes be hidden within the list of taskbar icons. Expand the hidden taskbar icons and if you find the network icon, drag and place it on your taskbar.

Users have also reported that occasionally after a reboot or wake from sleep state, internet connectivity is lost, despite the icon status indicating that the system is still connected to the net or has limited connectivity. A manual intervention is required at this point to set the issue right, as the connectivity is not automatically detected.
