I have a very weird problem. It started ever since they changed my cable modem, but I'm pretty sure it is not the cause, because it only happens with one computer and even with the cable modem disconnected from the router.
I have a router connected to the cable modem which provides internet access. The router provides my local network and wi-fi access. All wi-fi connections are working fine. I just connected a laptop to the router (via cable) and it identified the local connection properly (internet ok too).
But in one of the computers (the one I'm using right now), it simply won't identify the local connection. The network icon detects the connection as OK (both local and internet), but the status message shows no connection at all. In the 'Network & Sharing' section, it shows that I'm not connected to any network.
Windows doesn't recognize that this computer is a part of a local network at all. I can ping all computers normally, I can even map network drives and use the internet normally. But I can't see anything from my local network, can't share files, etc.
