  2. Network adaptor

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue

    Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Internet connection. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your internet.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Internet Connection troubleshooter

    Method 2: Try updating the latest Network Adapter drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if the issue persists.


    • Follow the steps to update the Network Adapter drivers:

    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Expand Network Adapter.

    • Right-click on the Ethernet and click on Update driver software.

    • Restart the computer and check.
    For games I suggest you to disable the proxy settings and then try to download the games.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

  3. Network adaptor

    I won't click Me Too because not sure it's identical.

    NB: apparently for some problems going to Network Adaptor in Device Mgr and doing UnInstall is step 1.

    Reboot re-installs it auto-magically. Which is step 2.

    Alas, I ended up with Driver up to date, Adaptor working fine, but
    "Missing Protocol"
    which halts cable network

    So no LAN.

  4. Can I assign some applications on Windows to use different network adaptors?

    Networking problems! Help

    the network number doesn't matter. Windows assigns it incrementally and it has no bearing on how the rest of your devices function on your network. It thought your network was a "different" network when you plugged the router back in. Your router assigns IP address and forwards DHCP calls not the individual computers.

    It is funny that it would list local area connection assigned to two different "networks". Pull up a command prompt with administrator privileges for me and type Code: ipconfig /all[/quote] . Take a screenshot or tell me what is says (whichever is easiest for you)
