Cannot change network location to access Homegroup share
Hi,
I have an Aspire X3960 (Win7 Prem 64bit) which is connected to the internet via cable. However when I tried to add it to the homegroup I created I noticed the LAN icon in the system tray had a red x against it. When I looked in cpanel at network and sharing centre no location is selected and it advises that the machine is not connected to the internet even though it clearly is as I can receive email and browse the web. I have tried the below:
1) I checked if network discovery was switched on and it was.
2) http://answers.micro...99-e5171c77ae95
3)
go to the device manager
select network card – No network card, has network adapters, expand that for Intel network connection
right hand mouse button and go to properties - check
then the advanced tab - check
find network address – no network address only thing with address was – locally administered address
select not present – that was already selected (not present)
Now go to start and type CMD at the prompt type: -
ipconfig /release
Enter
ipconfig /renew
Enter
Wee icon on bottom right had yellow triangle for 2 seconds then went back to red x
4) Updating network card driver
Thanks Martin
