Hi, so I've seen a lot of different resolutions to this but none of them seem to work for me..

I'm running windows 10 on a Gigabyte ga z170x gaming 3 motherboard, i7 cpu and the Ethernet drivers are the killer Ethernet from the website.

I've tried several different revisions of the drivers, tried it with and without the killer software installed, removed the bandwidth control on the network adapter, reset the router multiple times, double checked the bios and everything is enabled as normal, but I just don't get any internet connection. It sticks on "Unidentified network" with the yellow triangle.

I've tried different Ethernet cables, and I've set my IP to a static IP (192.168.1.111, default gateway 192.168.1.254) and still no luck.

I can ping 127.0.0.1. Without a static IP assigned, My ip address in ipconfig is 169.254.122.180, and I've disabled ipv6.

I can't release the address and can't renew, as I'm unable to contact the DHCP server.

Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end with this adapter!

Thanks in advance
