Last night my PC is working fine, this morning I come up to use it and I have no internet connection. Network port is detecting Ethernet cable being plugged and unplugged.

Steps taken so far.
--Ran Windows Network Diagnostics - "Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid IP Configuration
--Disabled and Enabled Network Port
--Fully powered down PC including pulling plug.
--Reset modem and router, tested both wifi connected devices and hardwired devices.
--Uninstalled network drivers and let system reinstall them on reboot.
--Ran full malware and virus scans

I would attach my ipconfig/all file but I can't figure out how to add an attachment. Any suggestions on where to go next would be greatly appreciated.

As far as ipconfig just copy and paste (XX out your Physical Address)

lets first try to rest TCP/IP stac and WInsock
in command prompt:
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Also go into adapter properties and dissable IPv6 (un-check it)

Reboot

If that still does not work then see if giving it a static IP address gives it a conection.

Any chance the network port may be on the way to dying? I've had a similar experience...mine just up and died even though Windows insisted that "The device is working properly". I finally eyeballed the port itself and no lights were lit. Went out and bought an external USB 3.0 adapter as a stopgap fix and I haven't had this issue since. I've since ordered a PCI-E network adapter card for a permanent replacement.

Obviously I don't know if this is the case but thought it may be a possibility.

Good luck!

at the cmd prompt
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

after a ipconfig /all you would expect to see an ip address of something like 192.168.0.xxx on your lan adapter. If your other devices are conecting on the same 192.168 network.

I checked the port for proper lights and i've got a steady green and slowly flashing amber.

I have reset the TCP/IP Stack and Winsock as well as disabled IPv6 with a system reboot after. No change

I released and renewed ipconfig. No change.

That ip address of 169.254.226.224 is called an APIPA address, it's an automatically configured address when a system (your computer) cannot obtain an IP from a DHCP server. So all that tech mumbo means you are not "connected" to your router. Electrically you may be connected (lights on port), but no software connection (tcp/ip handshake) to the router.

I tried this and I am still getting a doesn't have valid IP configuration. I also went out and bought a PCI network card. Still can't connect so I don't believe its the port at all. Any more suggestions? I really don't want to reinstall windows.

Somehow some way my VPN which was turned off had a rule turned on in Windows Firewall. I disabled the rule and I am now able to watch porn again lol. Thanks for everyone who helped.
