I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with the Intel G33 chipset. The onboard chip is reported to be a Intel 82562V-2 by Vista. There is no native support, a driver is required for this to work from a clean install. I have tried drivers from Dell and directly from Intel. The problem I am having is that when I restart my machine, the device does not aquire a DHCP lease. I can not ipconfig /renew as it fails. I don't suspect my router, because all other devices work. I have to manually disable the device and re-enable it in order to get an IP address. Once done, the device gets an IP almost instantly. I have not tried manually assigning an IP, but that could be one solution.
Basic specs:
Intel Dual-core E2200
4GB 800MHz DDR2
Nvidia 7900 GS Video, PCI-E.
Clean Vista Home Premium install from Dell OEM DVD. 64-Bit.
Network has to be reset at each boot. Vista H.P. x64
in Windows Vista
