Topic: Internet Connection Problem

[calisun]

I have done several SME server installations on several different computers in the past without any problems, until now.

During install, SME server recognizes all build in network cards without any problems and sets it up correctly. But when I reboot after install, I can't get internet connection.
When I log in as admin, and choose "test internet connection"  it tells me that connection failed.

* I tried switching Lan/Wan card assignment, without success.
* I tried installing a separate PCI network card, the configuration recognized the card correctly, but after
   reboot, I still can't connect to internet.
* I have updated BIOS to latest version 2.05 dated December 2007, without any change in the issue.
* I have googled for answers without any luck.

My internet connection is fine, I connected my other SME server box and it connects without any problems.

* This is a fresh install of SME 7.3

OK, after further research, I have found this:

I have no idea how to fix this, does anybody know how to fix this?
