None of my devices can obtain an ip address from the Microsoft virtual
hello. i am 19 years old so i don't exactly have lots of experience with all this. I am having a problem which i could use help with. Lately i have been using the Microsoft virtual network adapter (im sure you've heard of it!)
I wrote a small batch file for the purpose of starting the network. (ill copy and paste it in at the bottom) now this program worked perfectly for about a month but now i cant get a device to connect to the network as nothing can obtain an ip address.
What i did to troubleshoot..
1. I changed the ip settings from dhcp to static.
this allowed me to connect to the network but i couldn't access the internet.
2. I checked the properties of the network from the control panel and it
shows that my network is sending packets but is not receiving any. I tried
running windows troubleshooting on the network and it tells me that the
network does not have a valid ip configuration. even though it is set
dhcp.
3. I tried typing the following into cmd "netsh interface ip reset"
in return i get;
"C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ip reset
Resetting Global, OK!
Resetting Interface, OK!
Resetting Unicast Address, OK!
Resetting Neighbor, OK!
Resetting Path, OK!
Resetting Route, OK!
Resetting , failed.
Access is denied.
Resetting , OK!
Restart the computer to complete this action."
why does it say resetting failed followed by access denied?
i think this is the cause of "failed to obtain ip address problem but why then does it not allow internet connectivity through the static ip settings? is there something i have missed or is something corrupt maybe?
I also tried going to device manager and uninstalling the network adapter from their then allowing windows to find it and re-install the driver.
Thank you for having the patients to read this far. As i said at the beginning i would copy paste my program here so you can see exactly what im trying to do here.
Thanks again.
