  1. Ethernet will not work and says “Unidentified Network”


    Had an issue come up on my PC where the ethernet does not work. Instead of having my network name, it says “Unidentified Network”. Running the troubleshooter presents the phrase, “‘Ethernet’ doesn’t have a valid IP configuration.”I have tried everything i’ve seen online such as restarting my router and also updating/reinstalling my ethernet drivers. My brother is also connected to the same ethernet and has the same issue.We have fully reset our wifi through our ISP, to no resolve. This may be of importance although it has presented no problems in the past, but my brother and I are out in a c

    Domain network ethernet not working but wifi does?

    Hi FreeBooter, I already came across this article and followed the steps with no results, I came across other articles that suggested the same steps but still nothing has worked? Thanks for the reply.

    Ethernet "unidentified network"

    You’re welcome! I appreciate your patience in trying the previous steps. Since the issue persists, let's explore a few more options.

    Are you using a domain-joined computer? It's possible that some group policy settings are affecting your Ethernet connection.

    If you have access to another Ethernet adapter, like a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, you can give it a try to see if that works without any issues.

    Another thing to consider is disabling or uninstalling any third-party firewall or antivirus software that might be blocking your Ethernet connection. Additionally, you can temporarily disable the Windows Defender Firewall by following these steps: Settings > Privacy & security > Windows Security > Firewall & network protection > Private network > Microsoft Defender Firewall.

    I hope these suggestions help you resolve the "unidentified network" issue. If none of these solutions work, it might be a good idea to contact your ISP or consider reaching out to a professional technician for further assistance.

    Please keep me updated on your progress, and I'm here to assist further if needed.
