Solved Identifying...([network name]) No Internet Access

Okay. Can you try to do a clean boot of your system and see if that does anything? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/331796.

I tried a clean boot. I was already performing a selective boot each time I booted, but I hid all Microsoft services, as well, this time. It didn't change the issue.

I'm trying to locate my Windows 7 Ultimate disc. Since I just moved, I know that it's in one of these boxes. lol I am wondering, however, since I upgraded to Windows 10, and that didn't fix the problem, would a refresh of Windows 7 do the trick?

It could fix your issue if the issue is with Windows and not something else. Personally, I always see reinstalling Windows as a last resort kind of option.

What kind of Antivirus do you use? Have you installed anything new to the PC recently?

Hi JMG,
looking back at your Ipconfig all, your node type is showing as unknown,
have a read of this MS fix.

I only have Microsoft Security Essentials running. Windows Firewall is also running, but I shut that down for a bit, and I still wasn't able to get a connection. In the time that I moved from my old place to my new place, nothing changed. I simply brought everything to the new place, plugged it in, and it didn't work.

Prior to moving, I had installed a bunch of Windows updates, but it didn't affect the connection. I thought that one of them might be the culprit, but I didn't have a restore point prior to to the installation, so I began uninstalling them one at a time. Apparently, if it is one of the updates causing the problem, I haven't found it, yet.

Torchwood, interestingly, I have no EnableProxy key in that location. I've attached a screenshot of the relevant portion of the registry.

I followed these instructions for creating the key (and set the value to 1), but it didn't resolve the issue: Registry key missing? | PC Review

Hi JMG,
you have an extra entry in yours compared to mine
DhcpNodeType.

Googled it found some info, that it overrides certain settings although you can remove it.

Should I just delete the key for DhcpNodeType?

Well, that fixed the Node Type, but it didn't resolve the issue w/ the network, although I am now being passed an IPv6 address. I am completely unknowledgeable about IPv6. Shouldn't that be enough to gain network access?

I was reading this blog entry and wondering if having connected to the Verizon DSL network, when I moved into this new place, had a similar effect on my laptop.

When I contacted TWC support regarding this issue, they mentioned that the Technicolor modem was handing out IPv6 addresses, b/c something on the network was requesting them. I don't recall ever having seen the TWC modem hand out IPv6 addresses, so it got me thinking that maybe something the Verizon DSL network was doing was causing this problem. When I first moved here a couple of weeks ago, the Verizon DSL connection was pre-existing in this home. I hadn't yet transferred over the TWC service. so I was using the Verizon DSL as my Internet connection. Once the TWC service was transferred to this new home, I switched over to it from the Verizon DSL. That's when the problem began. The article I'd linked in my last post detailed a problem switching from one network to another. Do you think that moving from the Verizon DSL network to the TWC network might be the culprit?

So, this issue was finally resolved. I took many other steps after the last posts in this thread. If anyone has a similar issue, they can find out what else I did to troubleshoot this here: [SOLVED] Identifying...([network name]) No Internet Access - Page 2 - Tech Support Forum

Ultimately, changing the security type on the connection from AES to TKIP/AES seemed to, at least partially, resolve the issue. I wouldn't have thought this would work, since I'd previously removed all security from the network, and I was still unable to connect, but this seemed to do the trick. I'm wondering if it was some combination of the IPv6 hot fixes (plus other attempts to resolve the issue) and the change in security settings that finally rectified this problem. Either way, it's all good now.

Thank you to everyone that offered suggestions and possibly solutions. I tremendously appreciate your efforts!

Update: I began this thread almost nine months ago, and in that time, and I'd had minor issues related to the problem that caused me to start the thread. Intermittently, I would drop my connection from my home network. However, to regain connectivity, I would go into the Device Manager, disable the wireless adapter, re-enable it, and I would be able to reconnect. That is, until the other day. I tried this method, and it didn't work, so I uninstalled the driver, reinstalled it, and everything worked fine. The problem was, I wasn't at home at the time. When I got home, I was unable to gain Internet connectivity on my home network. I can connect to it, although it says, "identifying..." but there's no outgoing connectivity. I don't know what to do at this point, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open. Thanks very much!
