None of my devices can obtain an ip address from the Microsoft virtual

[Owen]

hello. i am 19 years old so i don't exactly have lots of experience with all this. I am having a problem which i could use help with. Lately i have been using the Microsoft virtual network adapter (im sure you've heard of it!)
I wrote a small batch file for the purpose of starting the network. (ill copy and paste it in at the bottom) now this program worked perfectly for about a month but now i cant get a device to connect to the network as nothing can obtain an ip address.
What i did to troubleshoot..
1. I changed the ip settings from dhcp to static.
this allowed me to connect to the network but i couldn't access the internet.
2. I checked the properties of the network from the control panel and it
shows that my network is sending packets but is not receiving any. I tried
running windows troubleshooting on the network and it tells me that the
network does not have a valid ip configuration. even though it is set
dhcp.
3. I tried typing the following into cmd "netsh interface ip reset"
in return i get;
"C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ip reset
Resetting Global, OK!
Resetting Interface, OK!
Resetting Unicast Address, OK!
Resetting Neighbor, OK!
Resetting Path, OK!
Resetting Route, OK!
Resetting , failed.
Access is denied.

Resetting , OK!
Restart the computer to complete this action."

why does it say resetting failed followed by access denied?
i think this is the cause of "failed to obtain ip address problem but why then does it not allow internet connectivity through the static ip settings? is there something i have missed or is something corrupt maybe?

I also tried going to device manager and uninstalling the network adapter from their then allowing windows to find it and re-install the driver.
Thank you for having the patients to read this far. As i said at the beginning i would copy paste my program here so you can see exactly what im trying to do here.
Thanks again.

I can suggest trying the connectify software rather than using the netsh commands. You should try reinstalling the driver for the wireless NIC if you are having problems setting up the hosted wireless network.

Connectify - Turn your PC into a Wi-Fi Hotspot and Get Faster Internet

You can also try setting up the hosted wireless network using the virtual router software.

Or you could try going over the netsh commands to make sure they are correct.

yeah i already have tried using software instead of cmd. the same thing happens as the software using these commands behind their UI. As for re-installing the NIC, i already did that by going to device manager-> uninstalled adapter-> clicked scan for new hardware-> and installed the adapter again. If i should do this i different way could you elaborate? thanks
