My computer wont connect to the internet via ethernet cable. It works when the cable is directly connected to the modem, but when I run the cable into the wall output it wont connect. Ive tested that there actually is internet through the cable in the wall by connecting it to my Macbook, and it works perfectly. what can I do to fix this?

A couple days ago I noticed that instead of having the ethernet in my taskbar that it is connected to wifi. I dont understand that because I have been using hardwire forever. To top it off my xbox connects via ethernet, but my pc wont. have tried the same cable that connects my xbox. I am pretty sure this is causing serious game lag, and i dont know what to do at this point. i cant access my router settings either. i type 192.168.1.1 and it doesnt load. that is the same ip address that i have always used before.
So this solution did work in a sense. Once reinstalled my drivers, my computer did detect that there was a ethernet plugged in, but it said the there was no connection. I disabled wifi on the computer, so it can only connect to ethernet. even tho it says that there is not internet connection through ethernet, everything is working great. It permanently has the Caution symbol over my internet.
So I've built my first ever PC and I chose the ASUS Z170-A as motherboard. When I was finished I installed Ubuntu. The ASUS motherboard do not have wifi compatibility integrated so I used the ethernet cable to connect to internet. That worked just fine, everything worked very smoothly. Then I decided to install Windows 10 instead. I bought the Windows 10 Pro, wiped out all the Ubuntu reserved partitions on the SSD disk, and install Windows.
But now, while having the ethernet cable inserted to the motherboard, it wont recognize it. The green and orange lights next to the ethernet cable input are even turned on (indicating that the PC does have a connection). But still the OS wont recognize that it is there. So even when Ubuntu succeeded to recognize the cable, Windows 10 din not. I speculated that I need some kind of software to detect the cable, but I am probably wrong.
I have been unable to do a direct cable connect. Settings are not available. In settings, to do a cable connect it asks for a name and ISP. There isn't any. I never had a problem doing this before and I can do it with my apple computer. It has now been 2 days trying to figure out how to do what should be the easiest connection. No problem with any wireless----not everyone has wireless! Your microsoft stores have a long way to go to match the apple stores. If you can't get a connection to the internet it is very difficult to communicate or download any patches.
View 6 RepliesI have a odd bug which is causing some of Windows 10's Features to not work. I am using an Ethernet cord, I can still connect but in the bottom it's showing Limited connection and when I click on it, It's showing No Internet and nothing is popping up.

View 1 RepliesMy problem is i use a hardline into my computer and upon starting it up yesterday was greeted with the problem “no ethernet cable installed or connected”. I have replaced the cable already/restarted both the computer and router multiple times/did a system restore and none of those worked. Also disabled and re enabled the adapter multiple times.
The only thing that seemed to work or hint at the problem was a windows 8 forum that said to use an elevated command prompt to do “sfc/scannow” and that came back with errors. There was a “DSIM” command that was unable to find a correct download location.
The other day I was connected to the internet via Ethernet cable I bought around 3 weeks ago and it was working well with no problems, but for the past two days when I plug in my ethernet cable, my laptop doesn't detect it and it says "Network cable unplugged".
View 1 RepliesWhere to start so to begin with my issues started when we got a new router. We had issues with the old one so we installed a new router and got it working fine WiFi worked alright but Ethernet would not connect it my computer when I ran the troubleshooter said one or more network Protocols were missing from my computer I'm running windows 10 version 1511. I went on google on my laptop to start finding a fix and I must have tried every option in the book just about I am losing my mind over how to fix this. Finally I tried reinstalling the Network drive Uninstalling my current one going on google finding my most updated one ect. and now the issue is no longer about the protocols but its saying my Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration
View 2 Replies2 days ago, I was happily enjoying my internet when suddenly my internet stopped working, I checked it and it showed that the ethernet cable is unplugged. I have by now, tried reinstalling win 10 (lost all my files and drivers ) and few more things like automatically searching for updates online. I have a realtek family controller
View 1 RepliesWin 10 32 bit will only load properly with Ethernet cable. Discovered this looping issue when I moved the PC and went to use Wi-Fi. Plug cable back in and everything goes back to normal. Troubleshooter doesn't find anything wrong.
View 8 RepliesSince downloading to Windows 10 I have had trouble connecting my computer to the Internet. I am on a college campus and having a computer with no internet is like a truck driver without a truck. I am able to connect to the Internet at random times for a few moments before it shows up with limited acces symbol on my wifi icon in the bottom right hand corner. My internet works fine when it is plugged in through an Ethernet cable but that is very inconvenient.
View 1 RepliesI'm troubleshooting a PC that was recently upgraded a few weeks ago from windows 7 to windows 10.Up until today, there were no major issues. However, suddenly the computer stopped connecting to the internet. It's not picking up any wireless signals and even with an network cable plugged in, it doesn't connect to the internet. The network adapter picks up as working when I check everything in the device manager, and when I look up the network printers, I am able to see them. But when I try to setup a new network connection, I get a message saying "no network hardware detected". And when I try to print random documents, I am not detecting the printers.
View 1 RepliesSo i recently updated to windows 10, and i noticed i wasn't connected to my Ethernet anymore, so i had to connect my PC to the wifi. Under my "network Adapters" it only shows "Qualcomm Atheros 802.11 1/b/g/n" I tried connecting another ethernet cable, but nothing happened.
View 1 RepliesI cannot seem to connect on Ethernet though Wi-Fi works OK. I have seen several articles about ethernet problems with Win10.
CABLING
First the network config:
Two notebooks, C and D are plugged into a switch and the switch plugged into the router. Now, the cabling is verified to work because computer C, running Win7 connects just fine and if the internet cables are swapped, computer C still connects just fine.
Computer D however does not connect. I did some other things to redundantly check too, just FYI.
So cabling looks OK.
ROUTER
both computers have fixed (reserved) IP addresses in the router.
The router sees computer C
but not computer D
Just FYI, if I turn on Wi-Fi, the router sees D on WiFi, but not the ethernet.
PING
Computer C can ping D
Computer D can ping C
Computer C can ping the router
Computer D cannot ping the router
Some investigation suggested the following, all of which I tried with no better results:
- Update the network adapter drivers (already current)
- Winsock posible culprit, so NETSH WINSOCK RESET and reboot - no change
IE used to find and fix these things pretty well, but here we have EDGE. Perhaps I'll try to install IE. Connectivity diagnostics are where IE shined over Chrome and Mozilla.
UPDATE: IE 9, 10, etc. are not compatible with Windows 10. So, the connectivity diagnostics just not as good in Win10. I can tell I am getting tired, as it's getting hard not to swear.
UPDATE: Added a pretty picture.
I was using free upgrade from windows 7. After installing Windows 10 on my laptop, I cannot connect with wifi but can with ethernet. What should I do?

View 5 RepliesI very recently built my own Gaming PC and just installed Windows 10 on it today (It never previously had any operating system installed on it), I tried using my WiFi card to connect to the internet but after learning that my card isn't compatible with windows 10 I resorted to using an Ethernet cable. Unfortunately, I still can't find nor connect to an internet source and the network icon in the bottom right is not appearing. I've tried rebooting the system several times with no luck.
View 1 RepliesSo yesterday my internet stopped working which is ethernet to d-link hardline ac adapter to router. Xbox is connected same way and it works perfect. Tried all the usual reset/restart stuff. Keep getting unidentified network no internet. My router reads my PC so i know its connected. Updated the ethernet controller drivers to win 10. No luck. My wireless adapter doesnt work either but i hooked it up and while it connects to my router and has a good signal it will work for a few mins and than drop out.
View 8 RepliesI upgraded to windows 10 today and I had no access to the internet .. I installed the KE2200 ethernet controller driver for windows 10 from here (standard driver): [URL]... but still no luck!
The windows 10 troubleshooter identified the current driver being the problem but couldnt repair it. I didn't copy the detailed results from this troubleshoot unfortunately but will do on my next Windows 10 installation attempt.

My laptop is for some unknown reason not connecting to the internet via wifi or ethernet. It will also not diagnose the problem as it says The Diagnostics Policy Service is not running and it cannot fix it.
View 4 RepliesSo for about 2-3 months I've been running hardwired Ethernet internet instead of wifi. I keep my Dell plugged into my tv. The other day I tried to move it and use wifi in another room but I have no option. When I first started with Windows 10 on release day I was using wifi with no problems and when going the Ethernet route it was always plug n play when you going to wifi vs wired.
1. Even after unplugging the Ethernet cord the symbol doesn't change to a wireless symbol the Ethernet symbol just has a little red box.
2. Tried turning airplane mode on and off as well as full pc reboot
3. Right clicking internet from the bottom right of the screen image and clicking open network and sharing doesn't give any wireless options
4. I've tried troubleshooting also with Ethernet unplugged and no success.
So just to repeat Ethernet works perfectly. Wifi used to work. My roommate who also is running the same version of Dell wifi works perfectly. Same account and everything.
The only thing I can think of is the pc updated one day as I have automatic updates and it wiped the driver maybe.
yesterday my Ethernet connection stopped working suddenly was using and any moment stopped working I have tried many things and I can not make it work, this is the model of the adapter (Intel (R) Ethernet Connection I218-LM) and this is the error in the diagnosis of Intel.
connection Status: Failed.This test Relies on a response from a gateway, DNS, DHCP, or WINS server and no such response was received. any such server connection for this May be unavailable or misconfigured.This adapter is configured to Obtain an IP address automatically but no DHCP server is present on the network.Windows selected an IP address using Alternate Private IP Addressing.
I have been using a wireless connection but have decided its better for online gaming if i go wired/ethernet.
I am having a problem "unidentified network/ No internet access"
Now in the past with an xp pc i connected the ethernet cable and that was it i assumt there is some sort of set up i need to do for win10?
Also it may be worth letting you know i am not directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable, i am using the plug in things that sends the signal down the house electrical wires. Maybe this is an issue although it wasnt on my xp pc.
