    Ethernet shows unidentified network, but internet works.


    Strange issue that just started today. My Ethernet adapter shows unidentified network and none of my apps have internet access, however my web browsers work just fine. I am even making this post from the adapter that supposedly has no access. I have been searching around for a solution, but no problem seems similar to mine. Check out the screenshot below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No Network Access on Ethernet after recent Anniversary Update

    My Wifi works fine, but when I connect an Ethernet cable and try to run internet connection through it, the Ethernet says "Unidentified Network/ No Network Access". This only became an issue after the Anniversary Update. How do I get Internet access for
    Ethernet back?

    ethernet plugged in but not working

    i tried Method 1 but it seems it did not detect that an ethernet cable was plugged in.

    I troubleshooted many times and occasionally it stated no hardware was detected.

    Side note, when i have my wifi on and i go to network and sharing it shows ethernet exists, but its under unidentified network and when i check properties, it shows that ipv4 has internet while ipv6 has no internet but, i can't connect via ethernet regardless.

    Ethernet shows unidentified network, but internet works.

    Solved it by running these commands in admin CMD:


    • netsh winsock reset catalog
    • netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
    • netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

    Then did a reboot.
