Firewall blocking internet access?
There is a yellow triangle on my internet connection in the taskbar notification area everytime I log on, and meanwhile the Network and Sharing Centre reports an unidentified network on the active network connection.
The only way I have found to put me online is to disable the Firewall in the AV. For obvious reasons this cannot be a permanent solution. So what is wrong with my configuration such that the Firewall causes this?
This error occured after I did two system restores in a row and declined to re-update the Firefox browser. I think I also ran Superantispyware at some point too. But now the internet connection is broken. How do I fix my internet connection?
Sfc /scannow reports no integrity violations.
Network troubleshooter reports network connection doesnt have a valid IP configuration.
The Network and Sharing Centre also reports that the active network is now a Public network (it should be a home network).
ipconfig /release and /renew failed with error : - "An error occurred while releasing interface : An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint".
