Hi, Thank you for your post. May I know if there is any other influence related to this issue, such as you cannot access the local resources or you cannot access Internet, etc? Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following: 1. Please check if you can access other computers on the same LAN or access the router. 2. Boot the computer to Safe Mode with networking and check if you can ping the IP addresses. 3. Disable the NIC and re-enable it to see if the issue can be gone. If you have other NICs which are not in use, please also disable them. 4. Try to update the NIC driver and see how it works. 5. Reset the firewall settings to default and see if it works. 1)Click the Start Button. 2)In the search bar type wf.msc and press Enter. 3)Right-click the root Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on Local Computer and choose Restore Defaults. 4)When the promote appears, click Yes. 6. If the computer is connecting to a router, please by pass the router and connect directly to the network and check the results. If the issue persists, please run CMD and then ipconfig/all on the problematic computer when the issue occurs and post the report to the thread for our further research. Hope this helps. Thanks.Nicholas Li - MSFT

"6. If the computer is connecting to a router, please by pass the router and connect directly to the network and check the results."Wow,How can you do that??? If you're connected via a router, that's the way it is. You can't change it just because you want to. (For ex. you can't connect a DSL line directly onto a PC, you NEED that router/modem/ap)

(For ex. you can't connect a DSL line directly onto a PC, you NEED that router/modem/ap) Actually, you are wrong, it is reffered to as a modem, your dsl line goes in to a modem from the outside line. And then from there you can go directly into your router then to your PC, or straight to your PC, unless you have a Modem/Router hybrid. But you could always try, restoring all of your internet settinge back to default both in windows. and under cmd mode. if this still persits, the only other possible way would be to test it with another PC, if it works, then try backing up any data that you may want to keep and reinstalling your operating system

I could be using a router with a FTTH connection, or a router with a built-in DSL chip (like the Cisco 877/878). In those cases, you just can't take out the router. You could always try birdging the WAN and LAN interfaces ON the router, but it's still there. So, when proposing something related to networking, there's some terminology one should stick to. By the way, using the modem directly on your PC, is still using the modem as a BRIDGE, unless you have a PCI DSL card directly on your PC (which makes it nonsense that you're using a router, though). So, still, it's not correct to advise removing the router. That can only be done in rare occasions and topologies.

Most of the home networks uses a Modem(Cable/DSL) and the a router to split the signal and have your network up, but remove the router and connect directly to the Modem is right, is more rare to see a Router/Modem device on a home network than the normal Moden ---Router topology, the Steps the guy gave are just fine

Home (or End-user) devices are less complex and usually more "integrated", just like the router/modem devices (usually even called a DSL "MODEM", not "ROUTER/MODEM"). In the contrary, enterprises do not like integrated devices, as that would result in higher upgrade costs (as you'd need to upgrade the router too, if you want to upgrade the modem, and vice-versa) and much worse troubleshooting ability. So, I think I still stand, that it's not much of a meaning. The correct statement _might_ be "using the modem in bridge mode", 'cause that's the technical name... (By the way, a router does not split the signal, neither does a modem. That's what a splitter -used in DSL networks- do)
