Unidentified Network - No Internet Access
I've read multiple posts about this problem but no concrete solutions. My problem is a bit different than the usual usecase.
Win 7 64 bit
Asus p5k se (integrated NIC)
Everything was working fine (a couple of months) until today. The only thing I did was trying to install some extra memory into my machine. That failed (but is a subject for another post). Problem started happening after that, but I find it hard to believe that it the two things have a direct connection.
In my case, the NIC manages to get an ip from the router (this is a direct cable connection, not wireless) and the gateway address is correct. However I still get the Unidentified Network - No Internet Access error. I'll clarify that the IP and gateway info appears on the Details screen of the network adapter. The main status screen shows (among other things):
IP4 connectivity : No Internet Access
I cannot ping my router. It's as if the negotiation phase between the computer and the router goes fine and then nothing. Looking at the DHCP table in my router I can see that my machine appearing there with a 192.168.1.2 IP.
I tried all the usual solutions:
Uninstall driver and reinstall
no DHCP
turn off computer
power off and take out cable
disable and enable adapter
I also saw that some software named bonjoure is blamed for a similar problem but I don't have that installed.
Any ideas are more than welcomed.
