  1. Computer Says I'm Not Connected To The Internet But I am...


    So this is an issue I've had for a few weeks now. Basically whenever I power up my computer and I check the network center it says that I'm connected to my wifi but there's no internet. The problem is that my browser is connecting to the internet and I can stream and watch videos on it too as well as download things. The big issue is that because my computer thinks its not connected to the internet, I cant get any updates for windows. Is there any way to fix this?

    I have already tried running a diagnostic and it gave the "Restart Network" suggestion. So I let the computer restart and when it turned back on I logged into the network and it said "Not Connected - No Connections Available".

    Looking at the other computers in the house it seems like none of them are having issues either so I think it could be something wrong with the hardware?


    If anyone knows of any way to fix this then that would be much appreciated.

    :)

    1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank

    Computer says not connected to Internet even after connected to Internet

    Hi Mark,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that applications show that you are not connected to Internet. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • How is the computer connected to Internet i.e. Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
    • Are you aware of any changes made on the computer prior to this issue?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    I would suggest you to try changing the network connection i.e. if the computer is connected to Internet through Wi-Fi, try using Ethernet and check if that helps.



    You may also want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article
    Fix network connection issues in Windows.



    Let us know how it goes.

    Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

    RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

    1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
    2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer
