    "Unidentified Network" Appearing For Ethernet

    A couple days ago for some reason my ethernet cut out for no reason. Today I got a new cable and replaced my router when that didn’t do anything. Just before, I tried resetting my network settings, power cycled my router and PC, and tried to manually set my IP and DNS for the ethernet but would not let me. I’m just looking for a solution because anything I have tried does not work.

    Read and try this, assuming you are using windows 10???

    Fix Unidentified Network with no internet access issue with network connectivity when trying to connect to Ethernet or WiFi, using these fixes.

        While in Device Manager looking Under Network Adapters the network card is listed there correct and there is no X or ? near it

        Have you tried resetting the the network card form with in Windows
        Open Settings
        Click on Network & Internet
        Click on Status
        Click on Network reset
        Click the Reset now button
        Click Yes to confirm and let your computer restart

        It may take a few extra time for the system to completely reboot since it is rebuilding the network then try the network and let us know

            Uninstalled then reinstalled the software for the network card

            Removed all references for the network card in device manager (even the hidden ones)

              @KickinSomeMetal Please do not quote previous posts, unnecessary and only adds to clutter. Write your response in the next blank posting box and click β€œpost reply”

              So what doesn’t work, you’re internal LAN or your internet connection, or both?

              If it’s your WAN have you contacted your isp?

              You say you could not change your ip address and dns. Did you try as per the guide in the link in post 3, if so that is more a windows 10 issue.
