Windows 10: No IP address for Ethernet connection

I recently bought a Netgear router. The Ethernet connection on the computer is not recognized because it does not have an IP address. How can I fix that?

:)

 

Unidentified Network/valid IP configuration: both Ethernet and WiFi


I have this problem everywhere, not just at home. Though at home I have access to connect directly or with the Ethernet, which doesn't seem to change the issue at all. Specifically, we've tried assigning IP addresses manually already.

If I didn't understand your suggestion though, just let me know what steps I need to do.

 

IP Address

Hi Will,

You might need your computer's IP address if you want to set up an Internet connection, allow other people to connect to your PC, or need to troubleshoot network problems. Kindly follow these steps to find the IP address of your computer:

• Select the Start button , start typing View network connections, and then select it in the list.
• Select an active network connection, and then, in the toolbar, select
  View status of this connection. (You might need to select the chevron icon to find this command.)
• Select Details. (Your PC's IP address appears in the
  Value column, next to IPv4 Address).

Let us know whenever you need further assistance.

 

Unable to find printer IP Address

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Here are the few settings that you can try to find the IP address of the printer that are connected on the same network.



Method 1:

1. Search for CMD on the start menu, right click on CMD and run it as administrator.
   
2. Type in arp –a on the command prompt and hit enter.
   
3. You will find list of all the IP connected to the system.
   
4. Look for the dynamic IP address.
   
5. Copy and paste the IP on your browser, and the IP that opens your Printer setup page will be the IP for the printer.
   

Method 2:

1. You can try to ping the printer name, by typing
   ping <printer name> on the command prompt that will give you the printer IP address.
   
2. You can also refer to this
   suggestion posted by BulldogXX on January 13.
   
3. Check for the Canon IJ Network Tool from the post above, as you have mention you are using Canon printer.
   

You can type in ipconfig and find your Ethernet adapter IP address, if the printers are on wired network, and if the printer IP address has the same network address as your Ethernet network address then the printer
is in wired network, and same goes for the Wireless network.

You can also compare the SSID of the WIFI and the SSID of the printer, if the SSID matched then the printer is on WIFI network, same goes for the Ethernet connection.



If you still face the issue, reply to this post more information.



Hope it helps.
