No Wired Internet Access - SHOULD be an Easy Fix
But maybe I'm having a senior moment...
Dell Inspiron 570 - 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
Yet on a boot I always get the little yellow triangle over the WLAN icon in the notications area. No internet access. When I've right clicked on the icon and selected repair, the troubleshooter says that it could not determine the problem.
- Wired Auto Config is running.
- LAN settings are to automatically detect settings
- Ipconfig displays a valid IP address.
- Have run netsh winsock reset.
- Have unplugged and reconnected the modem.
- Have contacted the ISP and had them check the modem connection from their end.
- Have tried with clean boot and safe mode with networking.
- Have gone into Device Mgr and uninstalled the network driver and watched it reinstall on reboot.
- Network card area on the back of the tower is lit.
Most tellingly, when I attempted an ipconfig /release it would not release.
But either I don't know what to do next, or I'm having a senior moment (wait didn't I already say that?)
