  1. Ethernet does not have a valid ip address


    I'm not sure why I am getting this message. This pc is less than 4 months old and I have never had access to the ethernet. The only thing I think might be causing this issue is that my apartments requires you to register the ip of the device to connect to the wifi and ethernet. Normally, it will auto detect your ip to register the device, but for the ethernet I had to manually put in the ip address which I am 99% sure is the correct one. Before this notification was popping up, it was giving me a message saying that it could not detect that an ethernet cable was even plugged into the pc but I

  2. No IP address for Ethernet connection

    Hello

    I'm Peter F independent Advisor

    Solution 1 – Reboot the system

    Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration error can be caused by Fast Startup feature. To fix this error, you need to follow these steps to disable Fast Startup:

    Press Windows Key + S and enter control panel. Now select Control Panel from the list of results.

    Select the Power Options from Control Panel.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration TP Netgear

    In the left pane, click on Choose what the power button does.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration Powerline

    Select Change settings that are currently unavailable.

    Uncheck the box beside Turn on fast startup (recommended) near the bottom of the window to turn off Fast Startup.

    Select Save changes.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP query

    Reboot your computer.

    Solution 2 – Check the Network Adapter Settings

    The router works to designate the IP address automatically. This is the default setting, though you can still choose to assign a specific IP address. In that case, you ought to set the IP address to automatic first and check the Internet Properties for the
    correct settings once it is connected. Follow the instructions below:

    Hold the Windows Key and press R.

    Enter ncpa.cpl in the input field and click OK.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration Unidentified Network

    Right click your Network Adapter in the Network Connections window and select Properties.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid connection

    From the Ethernet Properties window, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid config

    You will then see the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Enable the following options:

    Obtain an IP Address Automatically

    Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically

    If obtaining the IP address and DNS automatically doesn’t fix the problem, you might want to consider setting both your IP address and DNS manually. To do that, follow these steps:

    Open your connection properties, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.

    Now select Use the following IP address and Use the following DNS server addresses. Fill in the data like on the screenshot below. After you’re done, click OK to save changes. To see the necessary information such as Default gateway and Subnet mask, you can
    just check connection properties on any other device that can connect successfully to your network.

    Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP address

    Keep in mind that we changed our DNS to Google’s DNS in our solutions. According to users, it’s not mandatory to change both IP address and DNS, but if setting the IP address manually doesn’t help, be sure to change your DNS as well.

    Solution 3 – Restart the router and check Ethernet cable

    After performing the steps above, turn off your router or modem and switch it back on after five minutes. Now check if your PC has the valid IP configuration. If it still does not work, connect your router to your PC using a different Ethernet cable.

    Otherwise, you may need to use a different router. If connecting to other routers won’t solve the problem, then there is an issue with your network card. Perform a factory restore to your network card, and if it does not help, replace it.

    Solution 4 – Reinstall your Network Adapter

    After completing the steps above, you must uninstall and reinstall your network adapter. Here is how:

    Hold the Windows Key and press R.

    Type hdwwiz.cpl in the input field and click OK.

    Ethernet doesn't work

    Expand the Network Adapters, right click on your Ethernet card, and choose Uninstall device.

    Ethernet doesn't work on laptop

    When the confirmation dialog appears, click on Uninstall.

    Ethernet doesn't have IP configuration

    Reinstall your network adapter using the driver accompanying the hardware.

    If reinstalling the Ethernet card does not solve the problem, you should reinstall the network interface card using the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer’s portal.

    Solution 5 – Use Command Prompt

    If you can’t access Internet due to Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration error message, you might be able to solve the problem by using Command Prompt. According to users, you can solve this problem simply by running a couple of commands. To do that,
    follow these steps:

    Press Windows Key + X and choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu. If Command Prompt isn’t available, feel free to use PowerShell (Admin) instead.

    Ethernet doesn't connect to Internet

    When Command Prompt opens, enter the following commands:

    netsh winsock reset

    netsh int IP reset

    After running these commands, you just have to restart your PC in order to apply the changes. Once your PC restarts, the problem should be resolved and you’ll be able to access the Internet without any issues.

    I hope it helps
