You were spot-on about the network stack. Just so happens today I was having a ton of trouble using the USB Ethernet adapter on my Surface tablet and ended up having to do a netsh winsock reset to fix it. When I tried the docking station on the Venue again tonight, it got me thinking, so I double checked the ipconfig and noticed even though my gateway was there, it wasn't explicitly listing as my dns server, so I opened network adapter properties and thought to try manually configuring. Lo and behold when I try to open properties for tcp/ip, I get an error: "in order to configure this you must first install and enable a network adapter". Same error I was getting on my Surface earlier. So I ran the reset command and rebooted and now it's working. Weird that I would receive the same error on 2 different devices, both using USB emulation for virtual NICs, but if that hadn't happened earlier, not sure I ever would have thought to try that. Anyway, my bad. You guys are spot on. My fault for not paying more attention before I made this post. But hopefully if this happens to someone else it'll help give them an idea what else to try. Thanks for the reply.
