    Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

    Currently when I hot undock from the D-Dock I lose my networking ability whether it's wired or wireless.

    Up until a week ago I had zero problems with the dock. I could hot undock all day long and experience no problems. Then I did a complete reinstall of the OS as there was some funkyness with some other stuff. Now, if I pull out of the dock I lose networking.

    Only a restart fixes everything back up perfectly.

    Any ideas? Anywhere to start looking?

    Thanks

    Josh

    On a D820 (W7 x64) hotdocking doesn't work at all. It's so bad I have to shut it off, dock, and turn it on. Then I turn it off and undock. Video, trackpad, network, and a few other things just stop working otherwise. But that's just me.

    I've never had a problem at all with the dock with the D830 before this rebuild. I'm hoping maybe it was a new patch or something that Microsoft released that might have screwed it up.

    Thanks for the info though
