That is that I am connected (whether through WiFi or ethernet cable) to a university network which claims after the upgrade that the laptop is no longer registered. I went through the registration process again through the browser (and was told: why are you registering this machine again, it is registered, simply restart the network/reboot) but the problem does not go away. I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email). > > > What are they using to identify the computer? > > > What is happening with the networking that isn't working?

I will try the suggestion in that link tomorrow and report back. Thank you again for your suggestion.
