Solved LAN network connection error

[Millo]

i can connect to internet wirelessly but when i try to use LAN i keep getting "Unidentified network (no internet access)" and under 'view your active networks' it shows the connection is public instead of home and i dont know how to change that, i thought its a driver problem so i updated the driver but the problem still exist. use the troubleshoot and it gives this message:
"Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration" i turned off and on the router still nothing change.

Welcome to the windows 7 forums Millo.

1. Is the wireless internet service your connected to yours? or another individuals or companies?
2. Can we assume that your wireless configuration is set to use DHCP, which means that it picks up an IP and DNS listing from the wireless access point or router?

You might have to go into network configuration and check the status of your network for wireless.

OK, please let us know how you get on.

It could be the "Mac Address Clone" that you need to look into on your Router. Going over Wifi is dictacted by your wifi network but if you plug your pc into the router's ports it may be blocked by the ISP due to MAC address.

"MAC Address Clone: Some ISP will require you to register your MAC address. If you do not wish to re-register your MAC address, you can have the router clone the MAC address that is registered with your ISP."

@aem
i don't get it, what am i supposed to look at in my router settings?

@seavixen32
the solution that you give doesn't work and the connection still unidentified

 

[seavixen32]

Looking at your screenshot you need to look under Unidentified Network and change from a Public Network to a Home Network as I showed you in the screenshot I originally posted.

Next, click Connect to a network if need be, but I think changing to a Home Network may be enough.

If not, click Change Adapter Settings in the Network & Sharing Center and disable the network adapter then enable it again.

@seavixen32 i cant click on the unidentified network to change it from public to home.
i try disable and enable the adapter many times before and the problem still exist.

Having just had a look at your ipconfig.text document, you don't appear to even have a wireless or ethernet internet connection. Also, the yellow question mark to the left of unidentified network confirms you don't have an internet connection.

Is your wireless router switched on? When you tried to reset it, did you try both the reset button AND power it down then restart it?

Right-click your taskbar and click Toolbars followed by Address to open the Address bar.

Now click in the address field and type 192.168.0.1 then press Enter, which should get you into your router settings, from where you can check your wireless settings.

@seavixen32 that time i disconnected from my wifi network
but here is it:

As previously mentioned when you connect directly to the Router, the router needs to learn that there is a new MAC address trying access the network. What is the brand of the router?

I had a similar situation. Suddenly I had an "unidentified network" and when I did a troubleshoot, it kept telling me I had no LAN cable.
I was pulling my hair out until eventually it was suggested that I turn off the computer and remove the mains plug . Wait 10 minutes, during which time I should push the "on" button for a few seconds, a few times. This drains all the residual power in the machine.
After 10 minutes, plug the machine in to the mains and switch on. I know it sounds daft, but its a lot easier than messing around with re-installs and registry entries.
Let me know how you got on.

I wonder what would happen if you removed power pack/batteries and then left it and pressing on button etc.? It cannot do any harm.

[seavixen32]
