Unidentified Network Wired TRIED EVERYTHING

Larzypoo · 15 Nov 2010

Hi,
I have this unidentified network problem when i'm using a wired connection. Wireless is fine and all but wired no.
Here is a bunch of things i tried:
-Reinstall Driver
-Bonjour service uninstalled, and reinstalled
-enable and disable driver
-Reset router
-Static IP
-Updating driver
-Switching to different routers (Same problem on all routers i tried) Current router: Linksys WRT160N V.1
-Disabled IPv6
-WOL and Shutdown link to 100 Mpbs first
-Also tried different cables
-Giving network address to present with random Letters a-f and numbers 0-9
-Putting only manual DNS
-Tried on different computer still doesnt work
-Wont even work on PS3

So is there anything else i can do? i've tried almost everything. I dont think its my router as i tried different routers. What could it be?

When did this problem start? Were your wired devices previously able to access the network?

Started about a week ago. It was working all fine then it happened suddenly

Larzypoo:

Sometimes the TCP/IP stack can become corrupted.
Try this:
open a DOS Box and type in
netsh i i r r <enter>
netsh i i de ar <enter>
netsh w r <enter>

Pay attention to your spacing when you type this in.
Close the Box and re-boot (don't know if a re-boot is actually required, but it can't hurt).
---
Also, if you have set up a Static IP address, be sure that the radio button labeled 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' is checked
I also have the LMHOSTS lookup unchecked.

You will find this window at: Control Panel/Network and Sharing Center/Local Area Connection Status/Properties/TCP/IPv4 Properties/Advanced/WINS

This seems obvious, but it isn't in your list of what you have tried... Did you try using a different cable?

Larzypoo · 16 Nov 2010

Do you have anything from Apple installed on this system like iTunes or Adobe photo suite?

If you can post a screen shot of your ipconfig /all it would be helpful. :)

Sounds like a failed Ethernet port! They can detect the fact its been connected but may not be able to apply ip settings. A reinstallation would be the only way to check for certain!

I did reinstall too. That was in the list. But yes i also tried the uninstalling and reinstalling the bonjour service aswell.

Bonjour isn't required on Windows systems and will only cause problems for you.
To fix ...
Run MsConfig

Under the Services tab uncheck the service called "##Id_String1.6844[... and then a bunch of numbers]" by Apple

Reboot

After that you will want to remove bonjour from your system.

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Bonjour
2. Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
3. Restart your computer
4. Delete the Program Files\Bonjour folder

Reboot then run the batch file below. :)
Download Renew IP + Reset Winsock Batch File

From the looks of it your wired connection isn't getting anything at all from the router, no IP, default gateway, subnet or DNS so you may want to reset your router also.

It also looks like you manually put in your DNS servers into the IPv4 properties. It sometimes works better to remove those from the IPv4 properties and add them to your routers DNS servers.
