Hello, I was wondering whether anybody could give some advice on how I could fix this issue. My Ethernet randomly stopped working and is now listed as an "Unidentified Network" I have tried many solutions to this problem but nothing has worked so far. I'm in university accommodation so I can't power cycle the router or anything, I'm posting here with my ipconfig /all to see if there is anything glaringly obvious that is wrong with it, and if not I guess I'll have to get a new Ethernet cable and hope for the best.
I tried ipconfig /release but ipconfig /renew produces the error : unable to connect to your DHCP server. Request has timed out.

Ipconfig /all :
