Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally this Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected, means that the devices in not in use or not connected and it could be any device for example, Ethernet, WIFI, Bluetooth or Local Area Connection.



If you are using WI-FI for internet connection then Ethernet will show Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected.



In order to understand the issue and assist you accordingly, we need some information

• What is your network setup?
  
• Are you seeing any errors?
  
• Where you are seeing this information?

Meanwhile, try the troubleshooting steps referred in this article:
