I am currently using the ethernet connection in my university dorm. It has been working fine for a long time, but suddenly started to not working after I boot it up. It reconnected eventually for a while, but now it is not even connecting back. Then the name of the network still shown up time to time, but now it is just called on unidentified network. It receives the packets and all, but it just does not connect to the internet. I looked at the different solutions, but it does not seem like my case is specifically same as the ones I saw.

Thanks According to your ipconfig you are connected via WIFI to the internet. If you want to connect wired turn your WiFI adpter off and reconnect to the wired network. If that does not help, you will have to contact your university's sysadmin - your problem most likely is not on your PC. Wolfgang

Hi, The wireless adapter has IP address but the wired adapter does not. Please disable one of them when you want to connect with the other one.

Hi, The wireless adapter has IP address but the wired adapter does not. Please disable one of them when you want to connect with the other one. Wow Im thinking all of this is something big and thats all it was. Great thank you

how do you disable one of them? i'm thinking this might be my problem since i can connect thru wifi but not thru LAN

Right-click on the connection icon and select "Disable"?Bill
