Can't access on the Internet on pc but OK on tablet etc.i am getting Unidentified Network error but windows 10 can't fix itself.

Have gone through all on https://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/how-to-fix-can...
I fail as I can't ipconfig renewel. OK presume network problem on motherboard but the WiFi is getting the sMe problem. That's wierd as the should be independant of each other. I have scrolled back win10 patch and no change.

Any ideas?

Tired that one also! At the moment ip address is obtained automatic and change the dns from auto to what you suggested and not change.

My ethernet is connect but only goes as far as to the router. It sys its an Unidentified network No Internet.

An error occurred while renewing interface ethernet : An attempt was made to access socket in a way forbidden by its access permission. The same message is repeated for WiFi also.

Real head scratcher. Ta for any help! Will bit the bullet and buy a network card tomorrow. Don't want to get refund on motherboard will all the hastle of rebuilding pc just for a network failure. Will hastle networkwork people at work on Monday.

That sounds like a permissions issue on running the command

You might have to run your terminal as administrator to run that command
Ta for suggestion, I am running in cmd in admin mode and ran it powershell aadmin mode. Ran webroot for search for malware, nope. May try it on safe mode.

Been on live chat with very useful from windows . Managed to roll back last patch which was an Intel network update! Grrrr ulrolled back OK but still have valid ip configuration. Love chat stopped trued to get back with the same person and next got a person who said looked at what you have done and then said its a hardware problem and ended chat.

My logic if network card and WiFi don't work while router is working find with TV n tablet etc then it is a Windows problem? Will a new network card fix this crap?

Now I get an error on ipconfig /release of 'An Address has not been associated with the network endpiint'

Grrr hate computers

Grab a USB network adapter to see if that works then you will know if it's hardware or not, something like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Foktech-802-11ac-Wireless...
That what has confused me, I was using a seperate usb wifi like you have linked and getting same error as ethernet! If my logic is ethernet and usb wifi is having same error it must be the windows causing the bug, correct?

Had a very helpful person Microsoft webchat for 1hr+ of text chat, I lost the chat while downloading ethernet driver, next ms webchat and said sorry cant help we think it is a hardware issue and closed my chat!
