Solved Lenovo Y560 Internet not working

[Uchiha]

Okay. this is very creepy.
My internet notification is showing an internet connection but Neither chrome nor any other application access the internet - like League of Legends and Origin.

Any ideas?

you connected wirelessly or wired?

maybe that the hub just needs a reboot.

go to open network and sharing centre / select your connections and check your activity. If the sent bytes value is increasing but the received value is static then it maybe a case that no data is being received to the laptop hence no internet.

 

[Uchiha]

This might sound weird but my received data is increasing but sent data isn't :O

it's a wireless connection

Dunno if this helps but
IPv6 Connectivity : No network access

 

[ascomputers]

are you able to connect wired?

it certainly sounds like its a driver issue. navigate your way to device manager Control Panel\System and Security\System\device manager and view network adapters.

 

[Uchiha]

Cannot connect through LAN either.

There were some network adapters called isatap and teredo tunneling and some IPv6 adapter which were having yellow error icons so I uninstalled them :O
This was before I started this thread

 

[Uchiha]

I think I somehow managed to delete my IPv6 drivers and protocol.....

Hi Uchiha. you need to head to your device manager and check your drivers in the first instance.

also did you reboot your hub?

 

[Uchiha]

Restarting the router didn't help....

Here's a screenshot of my network adapters

 

[Uchiha]

Never mind, System Restore FTW!

Am I supposed to be concerned of this?

 

[Uchiha]

System Restore didn't help
The problem persists.

There is a whole thread about your problem on the Lenovo site. Y560 is unable to connect to internet. - Lenovo Community See if you can put your head with others if you can't find out anything here. Thanks,

If it has an answer, does it matter? Just trying to help.

I believe I know what the problem is however it will require that you post a screen shot of the ipconfig/all from this machine in order for me to know for certain.

My Internet is currently working
But I just wanna ensure that this issue doesn't come back to haunt me.

Yes this looks fine to me now. It looks like system restore took care of the problem I saw.

The other picture of Device Manager showed too many tunnel adaptors which can cause problems but it looks like they are gone now.

Still there, my friend......

Ahh ok, in this case they will come back to haunt you when there are enough of them to overload your network stack. The only thing the system restore did was to take you back to a point in time where there weren't so many tunnel adaptors which is what was crippling your system.

They usually show up in the ipconfig/all, I'm not sure why they aren't showing up there in your case.

I do have a file that will get rid of them all for you without having to do it manually.

There is a 32 and 64 bit version of this tunnel adaptor removal file, just run the one that is appropriate for your system.

You should think about updating the network driver and the firmware for your router as there is probably a compatibility problem that is causing this tunnel adaptor problem.
