Hi all, my ethernet connected PC has stopped connecting to the internet. When I ran Windows Network Diagnostics it comes up with the fault description above and it also states "No internet access" and "Unidentified network". I have ran ipconfig/all and the details are below:

My PC is using Windows 7 OS. I have replaced the ethernet cable with 2 new ones to no avail. I have replaced the router with a new one and my laptop is able to connect to the router wirelessly and access websites. So I know that the router and ethernet cable are Ok.

I have also checked the IPv4 settings and the "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are both checked and under advanced settings the DHCP is enabled.

I have also opened services.msc and disabled IP Helper and checked that DHCP client has started and is on automatic.

I have also downloaded and run Microsoft Fix It 50199 from their website support.microsoft.com to reset the TCP/IP settings and rebooted my PC but the fault is still there.

I am running out of ideas and was wondering if anybody can help me fix it. I use Outlook on my main PC and can't access those emails with my laptop. I desparately need to check my emails. Thank you
