Configuration errors to the change of network card

Hello.
I use a notebook Fujitsu LifeBook A532, CPU Intel Core i5-3230M, RAM 4 GB, Windows 7 Pro SP1, with thees LAN cards:
- Realtek PCIe GBE family Controller
- Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230

Usually I use this notebook in the office connected to a docking-station/port replicator Fujitsu PortRep PR07 provided with additional network card:
- ASIX AX88772A USB2.0 to fast Ethernet Adapter

I have planned various profiles in NetSetMan Pro (updated to v. 4.7.2) to use all three network cards, one at a time.
NetSetMan Service is always active.
It often happens that disconnecting the laptop from the docking station to connect to WiFi or cable connection to other networks, when I select the profiles relative NetSetMan signals that you have correctly configured everything but in reality the laptop fails to correctly set the network address provided (not DHCP) and to use it are forced to restart it; worse still, sometimes I have to manually set the parameters of the network cards directly from the Windows Form.
Before of restarting the notebook the network address is the only parameter wrong while subnet mask, gateway and DNS are correct.
For the case it also happens to someone else? And in case you were able to resolve the problem?
Thank you.

Re: Configuration errors to the change of network card

This sounds very much like a caching problem of your network adapter driver.
Often Windows uses a compatible drivers, but not the best ones. Please search for the latest official drivers and install them instead. This should resolve this issue.
