So yesterday after booting up my computer I was getting unidentified network showing up under my connections and no internet access. I tried numerous different proposed solutions and not one of them worked. Then I decided in desperation to try unplugging and pluggng back in my ethernet cable on both ends. Suddenly it recognizes my network again and the internet works!....
Sort of. So now it is connecting to both Network and Unidentified Network and while download speeds are fine(tested via loading youtube videos) it is timing out trying to connect to most websites including speed tests. I assume this is some issue with upload specifically? We have another wired computer and wireless working fine through the modem. The ip config reads out

I'm wondering if maybe something I did trying to fix the first issue has caused the second?
UPDATE:
So I went into change adapter settings>properties>configure>advanced>Network Address to check if I still had 12 random numbers entered in there like one of the fixes to the unidentified network problem suggested and it was set to not present instead, I tried putting the random numbers in and got the unidentified network problem again so I then set it back to not present. Oddly this seems to have at least fixed the whole not connecting to anything but google thing though I still have the unidentified network showing up it doesn't seem to be doing any harm. I have no clue how changing the network address to something then changing it back to not present fixed this, frankly networking just seems like sorcery to me. If anything else happens I'll be back but for now this seems to have fixed the problem? So if anyone else has this issue and nothing else works try replugging in your cables and then switching your network address around I guess?
