Windows 10: lost internet after upgrade solved

I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 and lost LAN, so could not connect to internet. Troubleshooter advised a possible driver problem with the network card, however the Realtek GBT family card showed up as working in device manager. Researching Internet came up with no solution. I rolled back to 8.1, found updated drivers for the network card, installed them, and upgraded again. Still the same problem. A friend upgrading from 7 had the same problem and with the same network card, and wireless. I realised we both had PrivateFirewall installed, and as soon as I uninistalled it, Internet was working again. Same with his. Installed PrivateFirewall again, and everything good. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I could find nothing, and hope this helps others.

Nokia E71 problem with New Firmware 410.21.010

Has the issue regarding the loss of wireless and mobile internet connections been solved? I upgraded last week and my functionality has been lost i.e. no internet at all.

 

Windows 10 - incompatible hardware

I find it funny that the guy might have lost access to the internet after that upgrade after all

 

Hi... Did you try to reset your modem or router by a power shut off and on . also afterwards do a restart on the computer once you have done the router/modem reset power

 

Why would he do this since the problem was the PrivateFirewall that was installed?

 

I spent quite some time trying all the usual resets, but since Troubleshooter was indicating a possible driver problem, it threw me. Internet search from another computer come up with nothing except a tenuous link to software, which is why I started to suspect the firewall.

 

I don't think I read that part . I should of quoted his post, oh well my error
