Local connection cannot get a valid ip config

[richie1913]

Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
4gb ddr2
amd athlon x2 6000+
Broadcom netxtreme 57xx gigabite controller (integrated)
Fresh Install today.(no updates or sevice pack on yet)
I have had this problem for about 4 months now,It started when i put my daughters xp laptop into the local connection(I use a 3 dongle to connect to Internet always have and never had any trouble,shared connection).

I got xp working on my network no trouble,the trouble began when i switched off and went to bed.The next morning I replugged my xbox 360 into the local adapter and got the unidentified connection,to cut a long story short I have tried all fixes I could find on the Internet but nothing worked,so I manually assigned a ip address in the ip4 properties and everything i put on local adapter now works but it still says public unidentified network.

So today I formatted and re-installed windows 7 expecting this problem to be fixed but no,it is exactly the same,I am going bald way to quick as It Is,I need some help please.



I have this error in event log every time i restart or disable/enable local connection .event id 1001
Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x001EC93E0D7B. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.


Also this one :
The Mobile IP Route Manager service failed to start due to the following error:
This driver has been blocked from loading

+ The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 169.254.149.243, since the IP address is outside the 192.168.137.0/255.255.255.0 scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator on this IP address, change the scope to include the IP address, or change the IP address to fall within the scope.

+ The DNS proxy agent was unable to allocate 0 bytes of memory. This may indicate that the system is low on virtual memory, or that the memory manager has encountered an internal error.

+Router Advertisement settings have been changed on the network adapter 11. The current M - Managed Address Configuration flag is true and the O - Other Stateful Configuration flag is true. User Action: If you are seeing this event frequently, then it could be due to frequent change in M and O flag settings on the router in the network. Please contact your network administrator to have it resolved.

Call your ISP and have them reset the IP. This is the only fix that I have found. If you can get into the routers web based page, you might be able to reset it from there your self.

Also when i check the network map this shows up,even though any computers or my xbox360 gets out straight into the local connection on the back of the computer,i am sure the hub never used to be there when it used to work correctly.

That's too much info. Can you summarise the problem?

 

[richie1913]

Sorry,driving me nuts.
It says i am connected to multiple networks,when i am not basically.
Network adapter cannot get a valid ip address either
Fresh Install

How about doing some screenshots of your network connections?

 

[richie1913]

Here is the basic network connections.

 

[richie1913]

Sometimes looks like this also + I cant get a full map because it is a public profile,sometimes i can change it to work or home and it will stick on the restart,then i get the full map which is the first image i posted.


On this image it says no network/internet acess next to the red mark,but everything still works ok,of course only after manually assigning a ip address in the ip4 properties on my network adapter,if i leave it on auto nothing works apart from 3 connect.

 

[aem]

That looks like the two connections does not have internet sharing.

Have you tried Bridging the connections?

 

[richie1913]

Yes,it says i need to select 2 lan or high speed connections that are not been used by internet sharing or sharing the connection.

Even with 3 connect out of the way/disconnected ,my local adapter still says unidentified,no valid ip address

 

[richie1913]

Another thing are all these network connections meant to be there,this is a fresh install and i have no idea what any of them are really.The ipv 6 one that is disabled is now enabled, I was just testing something.

 

[richie1913]

Last bit of info,really sorry about the amount of It,going out for a few hours.
Here Is a network report from speccy.First one is just with the local adapter no usb dongle(3 connect),still unidentified network reported.Second one with 3 connect connected(I have not manually assigned a ip address to the network adapter so nothing is working when i did the reports,if i assign a ip address then everything works but still unidentified network/no network access or internet access shown but works fine.Number 3 is the assigned ip address.
Hope someone can figure it out,thanks for helping.

Even with 3 connect out of the way/disconnected ,my local adapter still says unidentified,no valid ip address

What are you connecting the ethernet cable to, a router? Sorry if you meantioned it before. The unidentifying network is just a connection that does not formally support internet (or is not internet shared).

Hello,

What type of AV/Firewall/Security Software do you have installed?

For now, see if resetting the TCP/IP and Winsock helps.
Click on Start=> All Programs => Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log press enter
Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log press enter
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog press enter

Restart the computer after and test your connection after and post an update.

Just done another fresh Install after installing ubuntu to see what that could find.
In network connections under ubuntu there was a loopback interface,my ethernet and a 1 unidentified is this normal or have i got a ghost network adapter bcause windows only finds my ethernet which has no ip address unless i manually assign one but still get unidentified network.

Just Installed windows 7 again I have my daughters windows 7 netbook connected from her local adapter to my local adapter with a standard ethernet cable that i have changed to see if that was the problem.Coming up with unidentified network multiple networks.Not connected to Internet it looks like it does below,as soon as i connect to the internet i get multiple networks,ethernet one unidentified/public 3connect home.

Network screen looks like this

RC-PC unidentified network X internet


When i do connect to the Internet I use a 3 usb dongle and share its connection with my laptops and xbox360 depending on which one i use

I will try the commands and post back soon.

No antivirus Installed using windows firewall for now(fresh Install)

Everything reset apart from ipv6 when i tried that one it came up with There are no user settings to be reset

Just tried to do homegroup but got these erros:

This is on a fresh Install,multiple networks detected and enable ipv6(It Is enabled as far as I can see)

One more thing,when i click on the unidentified network to try to delete or merge it nothing shows up only 3 connect if connected

It might be worth assigning Manual or Static IP.

Thats what i already do to get things working.
I have kind of gave up with this now,I did manage to fix it once everything went back to how it should be.only problem was i didn't do it step by step,i changed lots of things and cannot remember what i did,and anyway as soon as i re-booted it was all broken again,but there is something you maybe be able to answer for me.

Why Is it still all broken after a complete re-install and do you think If I used something like dban to wipe the hard drive that would solve It + If I bought a new network card would that solve the problem.

Thanks for your help

Have you done any modifications from your router? Even to do some experiments? Sorry if this advice has been brought up.

I'll start of with the router's firmware update.
Changing your network security from removing it then apply the lowest security which is WEP, test your connection, if you get a solid connection go for WPA then WPA2.

If none of the above works, perhaps a reset to the factory default then reconfigure from scratch.

Still No-Go then you may try replicating the problematic network adapter.

I dont think use a router for anything or do I?
usb dongle for the internet
xbox360 or laptop connected via ethernet cable directly from each other.

My own connection is Modem=> Router=> Computers (wired and wireless a USB WiFi adapter can also be utilized.)

If I bought a new network card would that solve the problem.

Oh okay, I thought you are connected to a router or modem bec. of your post quoted above above ....and your USB dongle has the latest driver I suppose?
Then, perhaps you may try replacing it.
