    Hi
    I have a problem with my lan.
    I have win 7 64x and I cant connect to the internet where I get an exlimation mark in the task bar, saying that Unidentified Network.
    I tried anabling & disabling the device, updating the driver, using vista driver and uninstalling the device and still I cant get access.

    Have you tried right clicking on network icon in taskbar and select repair network connection ? also use device manager and select update network driver see what one windows gets or try windows update.

    did the repair bit and with no luck
    the problem is I cant seem to connect to the internet.
    I am on my laptop now using an other port of the ADSL modem and working fine.
    now i am doing a clean reinstall of the win 7 for the 4th time and still the same thing.

    I take it other machine is a desktop model are you using same lan cable on laptop if so that rules that out did you ever connect with windows 7 ahve you tried just installing vista again see if it works other than that try another network card you could have fried it can happen if you connect it while it is powered on. have you checked to see if the lights are working on lan card.

    light on the lan are working and blinking too.
    the lan is a builtin on my Asus Maximus 3 formula MB.

    the only thing that I havent tried is installing vist OS on my decktop to see if it works.
    I will get a pci lan card just incase and test.
    it might fix the problem I think

    It could be a DHCP problem or your dsl/cable modem is not assigning a valid ip address. Please check your ip address is valid. If it starts with 169.XXX.XXX. then that would be the reason. You can verify it by using cmd.exe, type in ipconfig /all confirm you have a valid ip address from there.

    You can also manually enter a valid ip if your modem/router is encountering some DHCP errors.


    On your laptop, with a working network connection, the one with internet access, go use cmd.exe.

    Type in ipconfig /all

    Take note of the following :

    ip address (ipv4 address) something like 192.168.1.10
    Default Gateway i.e. 192.168.1.1
    DHCP Server i.e 192.1.168.1.1


    Do the same thing on your desktop, the one that can't connect to the internet and compare.
    If not the similar, try entering a configurtion similar to the one on the laptop but don't use the same ipv4 address, use something like 192.168.1.20

    then check if you can connect.

    I suggest checking the DHCP configuration first before reinstalling o.s.

    When you use cmd and ipconfig /all on your desktop, what ip address is shown?

    Be sure to connect the lan and wait for the network icon to show an exclamation mark before you use cmd and ipconfig, that will show the current assigned ip address by DHCP

    *
    To manually enter ip configuration settings:
    On the system tray, click on the network connection icon the one with excalamtion mark and then click on Open Network and Sharing Center. A window will pop up showing Network Information. Under active networks, locate Access Type and click on the item that says, connections: xxxxx. That will bring up the connection status.

    Click on details to check if ip address is valid, if not, you can try manually enter the configuration.

    To manually enter configuration : on the same connection status window, click on Properties and then double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCPIP v4) This is where you manually enter the IP configuration. Use an ip address similar to the one on your laptop, For example, your laptop uses 192.168.1.2 then you can use 192.168.1.3. Be sure it's not the same. Also, be sure to use the same gate way and the same subnet mask (i.e. 255.255.255.0) the laptop is using.

    It is the DHCP server just config ip manually and take the same ip mask dns and gateway from the laptop's ipconfig
    and it will work or just show us the ipconfig of the laptop

    Your ipconfig shows a DHCP error. I'm not sure what causes it. I can't say for sure if it is indeed related to a loader but as ericsalvas says, it happened to him.

    What are the exact ip configuration of your laptop? The one that works and has internet connection?

    ipv4 address: ?
    subnet mask ? is it 255.255.255.0 ?
    and finally the Gateway: ?

    if entering the configuration of your laptop manually on your desktop does not work, you might want to consider ericsalvas suggestion. * just read you have no loader

    You have to enter all the values. Including DNS

    Have you tried entering those values on your desktop? And still no internet connection?

    IPv4: 192.168.1.254 (can't be the same as the one used by your laptop if in the same network)
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    DNS 192.168.1.1

    after entering these values, go to your connection Status and click on Details, check if the settings are correct.
