    Ethernet connection not working on Windows 10


    Goal: Establish network connection between Dell Vostro 230 ethernet adapter and router using a cable.

    This PC was not in use for few years. Recently installed Windows 10 on it. Not sure before Windows 10 installation network was working or not.

    What is working...
    * Able to access the network using same cable & router from another Laptop
    * After putting the cable in Dell Vostro 230, red cross in Ethernet Network Connection goes off
    * Windows 10 OS is working fine, all device drivers are green
    * Network card shows static green & flickering orange light
    * ping to 127.0.0.1 is successful

    What is not working...
    * automatic IP assignment through router's DHCP
    * ever after manual IP assignment, ping to gateway/router IP fails

    Driver details.....
    Driver Provider: Microsoft
    Driver Date: 8/18/2015
    Driver Version: 15.6.13

    "ipconfig" command shows the following details......
    Autoconguration IPV4 Address : 169.254.200.188
    Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
    Default gateway:

    "ipconfig /renew" command does not work, it just hangs there

    Want to know what is the issue?
    1. Is ethernet card not working & needs to be replaced?
    2. OR Is network driver not working?
    3. OR there is some issue with Windows configuration?

    :)

    My reliable ethernet connection no longer works

    Hi Marcia,

    To better understand the query, please answer the following questions:

    • After restarting is your computer in normal mode or not?
    • Are you getting any error message?

    I suggest you to reset the modem\ router and check if the Ethernet connection works or not.

    If still the issue persist then I suggest you to follow the steps from the below article
    “Fix network connection issues” and check if it helps.

    Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

    Hello,

    So this issue has been annoying me since i have changed my old i5-4670 with a ryzen.

    Ethernet: Realtek 8111H (MSI X370 Gaming Plus)
    Modem/Router: Airties Air 5760

    What i have tried so far to fix my issue:
    • Re-installing Windows
    • Updating Ryzen chipset drivers
    • Updating Realtek LAN drivers (both from MSI & Realtek)
    • Updating MSI' LAN releated drivers (MSI Gaming Lan Manager)
    • Replacing ethernet cable
    • Restarting router to factory settings
    Still no luck, keeps happening randomly. Sometimes it is stable for days then it is not stable for 20 mins. Happening when gaming or idle, or while streaming via steam link.
    Windows' own issue fixer thingy fix the issue for the moment, re-plugging the cable, disabling & enabling the ethernet adapter also fixes the issue for the moment.
    Also i am the only one having this issue in the network, TV and phones are still connected to wifi.

    It is started to be real annoying, so time to get help to fix the issue from TPU. Thanks in advance! *I Love TPU :lovetpu:

    Ethernet connection not working on Windows 10

    Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

    I suggest checking out the event log in Windows. It's likely going to tell you why (to some degree,) why the network connection was lost. I haven't had this issue with wired connections but, with wireless it has almost always come down to drivers or a strange software bug which boiled down to how the driver operates.
