enabled
no internet activity
"local area connction" doesn't have a valid IP connection

it's an Nvidia Nforce Network Controller
I've Tred
-manually using IPV4 Ip Adress
- Renew Ipconfig
-uninstalling/reinstalling Drivers
-Resetting both Machine and Router
-changing ethernet ports
- typing pre Ip from source

Note: Cable works on my laptop

'i've looked through endless forums and nothing seems to be a fix for me. any ideas?

Scan for malwares

If the network adapter has an accompanying installation then, check your firewall settings and allow it to pass thru.

Or configure the wireless router to manually register its mac address.

Often just changing the MAC address of the network adapter will fix the issue -- I use THIS free MAC changer and it is simple to revert to the old MAC if you want in the future.

It is the quickest fix for an unidentified network if it works, if not search the forum for "unidentified network" and your specific OS, as I have posted a bunch of long threads on how to approach the fix. And listing your OS helps, which I assume is Windows 7 Home Premium because is seems to happen most often and is harder to fix due to the lack of a policy editor that Pro, Ultimate, and Enterprise have.

plaintuts :

i have followed this and all seems to be okay with the Firewall/

i have edited my OP and i'm running windows 7 ultimate

plaintuts · Oct 21, 2014

Aswell as your anti virus firewall?

If your using Norton or McAfee,

RealBeast · Oct 21, 2014

So you have tried using the policy editor like THIS and it fails? I would change the MAC address then.

Are you running Hamichi?

sheep1101 · Oct 21, 2014

Mac adress has been changed but to no effect.

i have just been through this, and .... no luck

plaintuts · Oct 21, 2014

Router....

Have you tried entering the mac address there?

sheep1101 · Oct 21, 2014

plaintuts :

i can't access my router. atm and lines are closed

plaintuts · Oct 21, 2014

Then you're probably blocked by it.

sheep1101 · Oct 21, 2014

plaintuts :

if a was blocked by it wouldn't that mean i wouldn't be able to use the ethernet with the other computers/
Wifi with My desktop ?

plaintuts · Oct 21, 2014

Just WiFi with your desktop

Using Ethernet port bypasses all communication blocks from the router because of being physically attached to it.

sheep1101 · Oct 21, 2014

plaintuts :

in that case i can't be locked out, as i'm running Wifi to the router as we speak,. (unless i'm missing something here) the ethernet seems to work on my laptop however not on my desktop, (same one i'm using for Wifi) could it be the DHCP

plaintuts · Oct 21, 2014

Can you try using the ethernet cable to the desktop

sheep1101 · Oct 21, 2014

plaintuts :

thats what my problem is, or more rather where my problem lies.

plaintuts · Oct 21, 2014

Without that option, then its probably hard diagnose the problem let alone solve it..

You can just get another network card to check if it will solve your problem.
