Hi Guys

I am a noob and i shutdown immediately after running 'cmd - ipconfig /release' as instructed by another website which was intended to 'reset my ip address'. Since rebooting, my local area network refuses to recognize the internet connectivity via cat5e from router (which has solid connectivity) and when attempting to renew again through cmd its telling me that my media has been disabled.

Any suggestions perhaps on how i go about reactivating my ethernet connectivity again?

there doesnt appear to be any issues with the driver itself, no exclamation mark. i have however already uninstalled and reinstalled the driver for the ethernet adapter and still nothing.
