Hi Experts, I am connecting to a wireless network and I get "No Internet Access". I referred the earlier forums on the same error. "netsh int ip reset" never helped. Updating the NIC driver, disabling / enabling windows firewall and manual IP Address / DG / DNS never helped. If I ping the default gateway continously while disabling and enabling wireless connection. This is what I get. The moment I enable Ping response like 5 times After a while Request timed out Little later "Laptop's IP Address" "Destination host unreachable" Wireless Autoconfig service is started Network Monitor says ncsi.txt is being received from microsoft dns server with a graceful connection termination. Reinstalled Windows 7 once and that never helped. Please help. Thanks, MPC

It would be nice if Microsoft would get off their butts and do something about this issue. "Unidentified Networks" are running rampant and it's not on the user. When you have a new pc or laptop and connect wired or wireless (doesn't matter) without incident for a few hours and a restart or two, you'd think things were going to continue as such. But after shutting down and restarting that once good network connection is now "Unidentified" with no rhyme or reason. I've had this happen on a number of Windows 7 systems and have tried the countless "fixes" posted all over the net. I'm just beyond frustrated with Microsoft right now as I need my BRAND NEW laptop to connect to my router as it has been for the past few hours so I can finish my work. It's not my dns settings or a bad ip address. It has nothing to do with me or my router. It is a Microsoft bug (read: problem that Microsoft knows about and hasn't fixed because they are focused on shoving Windows 8 down our throats asap). I'm just sick of Microsof and their half-finished products that we pay for and then end up beta testing.

Hi MPC_M, Network Location Awareness also need to resolve a DNS name called dns.msftncsi.com before it displays Internet Access. Please check. Also, according to your description, I assume that you issue is more like an unstable Wireless Connection issue. Please change another Channel on this Wireless router. If the connection packages are often lost, the issue has nothing to do with NCSI. @Burgnet, "Unidentified Networks" issue usually happens when your connection does not have a default gateway configured.
