    Unidentified Network - DNS/default gateway problems from diagnostics


    So, I have been trying to connect to the internet. The cable works fine on my other laptop.

    When I try to either connect it directly to this computer, or to connect via an ad hoc connection, it says unidentified network. I got it running a while back by reseting some stuff after some internet research

    (ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh int reset all // netsh int ip reset ; netsh int tcp reset
    netsh int ipv4 reset
    netsh int ipv6 reset
    netsh winsock reset)

    and by using system restore and using a preferred DNS server address. Not sure which of these actions helped and eventually, it connected and identified the network. When I run diagnostics, it says thet either there is a problem with the DNS server address, or with the default gateway, or that a cable is not properly connected, even though I was connecting through the ad hoc connection, and not through a cable.

    The IPCONFIG/ALL when I'm connected to the internet through a random wireless connection.

    Has the wired connection ever worked on this machine?

    Have you tried installing the latest driver for the Atheros 8132 PCI-e NIC?

    Download Atheros AR8132 LAN Driver 2.1.0.12 for Windows 7

    Yes, the wire used to work, then the problem with the unidentified network appeared, couldn't identify the cause. I managed to solve it after trying to connect via the ad hoc connection.

    The drivers are up to date.
