  1. Error Unidentified Network (Ethernet) Windows 10


    So, today i got home and jumped on my Dell laptop (Latitude E6530) I realized i had the yellow alert "thingy" on the Ethernet symbol. I then clicked on it and it says Unidentified Network, no internet connection. i looked up a bunch of solutions and nothing helped. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they know a possible solution.
    Thanks

  3. Ethernet - Unidentified Network Error

    I currently have DELL Inspriron 15 5000 Series with Windows 10, and have AT&T Fiber Internet with a Netgear Gigabit Switch GS105. All my other Ethernet ports in my house are working fine but when I plug my computer straight into a port with a brand new
    Cat5e Blue cable, only one green light shows up on the Switch and an error pops up on my computer that says "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP address". I feel like I have done every troubleshooting tip on the internet and it is still not working. I really
    want to plug my computer straight into the Ethernet port because I work from home and sometimes my Wifi and can be really slow. Please help!!!

    Your getting a internet connection via wireless and the network card isnt connected or not getting and ip as its gets a 169 ip range that is the message that the 169 isnt recognized you can ignore it or disable the network card when not in use

    Error Unidentified Network (Ethernet) Windows 10

    The 169 addresses are APIPA, Automatic Private IP Addressing, a Microsoft scheme that comes into play when the interface can't get an IP address from DHCP. Notice also that you only have a LInk-local IPv6 address. On a working link with DHCP, you'd show an IPv4 address with your private address range 192.168... and both IPv6 Address and Temporary IPv6 Address. Something weird is going on with your wired Ethernet connections , but if you're not using them, that may not matter. To disable the card, find it in Device Manager, Network adapters, then right-click the entry, and select "Disable" from the resulting pop-up menu.

  9. Thanks for the response, the reason I'm using my wifi is because I can't use the Ethernet. From what you said this seems to me that this doesn't happen very often specifically with my issue. Is this something I should just hope it fixes later on or maybe get it look into.
    thank you

    You can try giving your Ethernet a static ip and see if that work
    ip
    192.168.0.23
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    default gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns 208.67.220.220 & 208.67.222.222

  12. Wow, um its fixed, really appreciate the help. I think what kind of triggered it is we had a bad lightning storm, and my charger even broke the same day my Ethernet stopped, so i'm thinking it has something do to with that. Its fixed now so i'm pretty happy. Thank you both for the help, again really appreciate it.

    Glad things worked out for you. I'm guessing the power glitch probably zapped the settings related to DHCP and they didn't get fixed until the lease got renewed. It's nice when things fix themselves: count yourself lucky!
    Best wishes,
