    Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration


    I gotta tell you this is pretty annoying. I have a brand new high-end Dell Alienware laptop that is great. Everything works fine including the wi-fi to my router. Running windows 10 Pro.

    I have another computer plugged into a switch and my network storage drives are on the switch too.

    I plug my laptop into the switch via ethernet cable and I can't see it.

    WHY can't windows just "Understand what I'm trying to do" and FIX it for me.

    The diagnoser just says "not fixed."

    I just don't get it. At any rate, I'm a little uneasy about trying all the myriad of fixes shown here as I do NOT want to mess up my Wi-fi connection to my router. That works great! I just want to be able to get to my OTHER devices via the ethernet switch.

    PLEASE HELP!!

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Ethernet dosen,t have a valid ip configuration

    Hi My erthernet connection stoped working, and I can't get it going again. It stopped working after I was looking at some network programs on a PE rescue disk, that i had not used before. Whether It was something I done or it just died I don't know.
    Windows 10 10.0.18362 and tried 10.0.19035
    Cable has light when you plug it in
    Network connections says "unidentified network".
    Troubleshooter says "Ethernet dosn,t have a valid ip configuration"
    Device manager has everything listed as working.
    Network connections Status window says IPv4 no network access, IPv6 no network access, speed 100.0 Mbps, Diagnose says, "Ethernet dosn,t have a valid ip configuration"
    I uninstalled all network adapters, restarted and reinstalled network adapters.
    I reistalled Windows 10, still not working.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Shane.
