Can't Connect to Internet via Ethernet Now on Laptop - Used to Work


Hi,

Don't know what changed, but now when I try to connect to internet on my tiny GPD WIN laptop running Win 10, I get the yellow triangle on the network icon in taskbar and message 'identifying....No internet access'.

I've checked network connection and cable on another laptop and connection works OK.

Checked Device Manager and everything looks OK.

[UPDATE] Just did the Windows Network Troubleshooter.....
Both WiFi and Ethernet have message:

Any suggestions how to get ethernet working again?

Thank you!

Ethernet Doesn't Have a valid IP configuration - Able to connect through wireless

I am unable to access my internet through on my PC through Ethernet and when I try troubleshooting it says - Problem Found - "Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

I tried various methods to solve the error but without any success. Some methods I used are as follows:

1. Disabling Fast Boot
   
2. Resetting my Router manually
   
3. Going to Command Prompt and typing "ipconfig /release" which gives the message - " An error occurred while releasing Interface Ethernet : An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint."
   
4. Going to Command Prompt and typing "ipconfig /renew" which gives the message - "An error occurred while renewing interface Ethernet : An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permission"
   

In above steps I used Command Prompt with Administrative Privileges.

I suspect that my PC may have been infected by a virus which is blocking my internet.

Note that I am able to connect to the Internet through Wireless Connection on my mobile device (on which I am accessing this site)

Kindly help

 

Connecting Laptop to the Internet, No connection

Trying to connect to the Internet using my Laptop. (not via the wireless router, but through the Ethernet cable)

My existing PC is connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable, which is connected to the Broadband Modem (Virgin).

What I have tried to do, is take the Ethernet cable from my PC and connect it to the Laptop... Unfortunately, the Laptop isnt connecting to the Internet...

I have tried repairing the Network, with no success.

I am using the same cable, which was connected to the PC...

I do get error messages, when I click on repair in the Network Connection Tab. Its says it cannot assign an IP address.

I am Using Windows XP Home Edition.

I've tried using the Ping via cmd ping localhost or 127.0.0.1

I get the following results -

Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 4, Lost = 0(0%0)

Also done the following -

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
3. Click the Connections tab.
4. Under Dial-up and VPN Settings, click the broadband connection, click Settings, and then click Automatically detect settings.
5. Click OK.


..... with no luck

What do I do guys?
