Right-click On Local Area Connection Crashes Explorer.exe
Jan 24, 2011
This laptop is getting a default IP of 169.x.x.x and I am unable to access our network and/or the internet from it. When I go to check the network properties, as soon as I right click on the Network connection Explorer.exe crashes... unless I disable the network device first.I have run both Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware, which found and removed some tracking cookies, but that's it. I've also run CCleaner which didn't appear to help at all.
I started getting a "DNS not responding"? on my desktop. All my wireless devices work fine, and when I turn off my laptop's WiFi card and plug it into the same router it works as well.I've done some Googleing on the issue and none of what I found has helped.When I do an ipconfig on each maching, the thing I notice is that on the working laptop I have an entry for the "Connection specific DNS suffix under the "Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection", where on the desktop that's not working the suffix is blank.
Windows 7 home Premimum 64bitIt started with a trojan which is removed but it left a couple of problems. Here is the last one.Device manager shows my lan card. I've tried uninstalling it but its uninstall app hangs...no messages just never finishes.Network Connection in control panel comes up blank, nothin, nada under manage network connections.
Okay, so a long time ago i tried to use my laptop to connect to xbox live using my wireless internet. It said in the guide that after bridging and all that, i wont be able to use the port for connecting to the internet with an ethernet cable. Well, i was stupid and decided to do it, and can't find a fix for it anywhere. The Local Area Connection is completely missing and when i connect an ethernet cable to the port, nothing happens. I wont go into details, but now i need to use an ethernet cable instead of wireless to connect to my internet, and my port doesnt work and I cant find the Local Area Connection. here's an image so I dont get spammed with people asking me to give them full system scan info.
Is there any way to reinstall local area connection? I accidentally uninstalled it while fidgeting around trying to get Xbox LIVE working, and now when I plug in ethernet cable from my xbox to my laptop, no connections are made.
without internet i cant play online,but i have a switch that 2 computers are connected to it,so is it possible to have file sharing, remote desktop, lan gaming,its ok if not all of them will work, i just need any of them,note: my 1st pc is windows xp, 2nd is windows 7
On Friday, everything was working as normal on my computer, I was sharing, and the ps3/xbox were on the network and able to play all files. As of saturday afternoon, the networking part suddenly stopped, and I could no longer find my computer on any other device on the network, but I did still have internet capabilities. I didn't think too much into it at the time and figured it was some workgroup error. Saturday night I try to rebuild the workgroup in hopes to fix the problem and also uninstall a scanner that wasn't working. I went to the add/remove programs list, and uninstalled the HP scanner/printer software, and then BOOM, no more internet at all. The other computers and consoles all still have internet, so it has to be something on the computer.
When connecting via an ethernet cable to a parent's modem, my laptop claims that Local Area Connection is unable to connect due to an invalid IP address. I've looked at many forums, but no single solution seems present and no one shares the same specs or IP config results with me.

My internet was working fine and I had left it on overnight to download some stuff. Woke up next morning, the computer was off due to the wall socket switch being put off. After putting the computer back on , the internet will not work now. It connects but I cannot browse or do anything .The local area connection just says identifying and the IPv4 connectivity says no network access.
I don't know if this is a software or hardware problem or if some settings were somehow changed . I tried updating my network adapter drivers to no effect. Then again I don't know if I updated it with the right one. I then system restored to the night when everything was working fine and still no effect . Ant ideas ? A friend said that because the computer was just switched off by the power source perhaps the network adapter blew.
So about right now I feel like throwing this rig off a bridge.
I am simply trying to find my missing icon for the local area connection that goes to my Mb Ethernet . I need to change the ip. It was around before but has gone missing.
I was trying to link up a network computer before and it all went down hill.
Stuck with my local area connection problem.I can not access my internet,under networks options there is no local area connection or any thing like that.I have also tried to format my computer to fix the error but no success.I have also tried to uninstall and then install the drivers but it was of no use but when i troubleshoot the it says the drivers are not installed properly.
i received this message" local area connection is not working properly, wireless capability is turned off" how can i fix this?im using windows 7 professional 64 bit...
just this morning i disconnected all of a sudden, and now i can't connect to the internet with my ethernet cable, my wireless connection is fine though...I've been searching for solutions but nothing has worked so far, i really have no idea what to do.
I have wired internet broadband connection .After rebooting the computer,i can not not connect to the internet .while trouble shooting the networker adapter in device manager,i got message that local area connection does not have a valid ip configuration The detailed ipconfig are given below

one day about 2 weeks ago, my net stopped working just randomly. I get the error 'Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP' when i try to use the router, and some 'unidentified network' shows up, i cannot connect to it.I reset everything and unplugged everything but couldnt get it to work until i unplugged from the router and plugged my computer directly to the modem. A good fix to get the net going in a pinch but it has become a real problem with me, my husband and my kids all using one computer when we're used to having our own. You cant even imagine the drama.I've tried everything i can to fix it, usually google gets me through anything i cant fix on my own and i did come across a few other people having my problem, they all seemed to fix it by disable a bonjour process. I had the same service running but their trick to disable it didnt fix my problem, it is still exactly the same.Another suggestion was to get rid of windows 7 driver for the network card and use the vendors own driver, tried that, made no diff either. also tried rolling back to several different times but for some reason the process failed.

I'm running Windows 7 using a DSL line connected via ethernet. I've lost my internet connection, and Windows 7 Diagnostics reports that there might be a problem with the Local Area Connection Adapter driver. Unfortunately, it doesn't say what the problem might be or what to do about it. AT&T has verified that the problem isn't with the DSL line or the modem, and for good measure I bought a new ethernet cable. To make a long story short, I waited too long before considering a System Restore and no longer have restore points available from before this problem started, which was eight days ago. I've visited the Device Manager and the ethernet adapter is enabled and working properly.
One of my computers is getting the "local area connection doesn't have a valid ip configuration" error from troubleshooting my network. My network is an "Unidentified Network" with NO NETWORK or INTERNET ACCESS. This happened ever since I installed a new modem. The modem is WORKING with all other computers. My NIC card for the computer that is not connecting, is also working since I tested it on another modem. I had to call the ISP to activate the new modem. I spoke with them and they said nothing is blocked on their end.So I've narrowed it down to my computer since there is no hardware issue. I connect by LAN, FYI. I've tried new cables, etc. My computer has no "BONJOUR" in it nor does it have any firewalls set up, just Windows Security Essentials.I noticed in my IPCONFIG /ALL that no IP shows up for my default gateway (should be 192.168.0.1). DHCP is enabled. I tried static IP as well to no avail.
I am running win 7 and my LAC says "unidentified connection" no internet access. I can still connect wireless to other connection. I am running comcast broadband connection through a marvel yukon ethernet. I can't get my work done from home anymore!
Having a problem connecting to the internet with a Ethernet connected desktop. I am getting the following error '"Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration'. I have tried everything I have found on internet using my laptop with no success. This is in an apartment building so no access to the router.
What I've tried: - Laptop works when connected to the same ethernet jack - Desktop does not work when connected to another ethernet jack - Reset winstock and ip/tcp stack cmd "netsh winsock reset catalog" and netsh int ip reset reset.log" - Reinstalling drivers - Do not have bonjour dns services - Reinstalled windows 7 not formatting
I've been at this all day its a brand new computer(that might be the problem right there but i doubt it) I tried renew and release method and have unidentified network Public network as well even though i do not have wireless on the comp. The local area connection says no network access as well. Every other computer currently works wired or wireless so i know the ethernet isn't the problem either.

sometimes my Internet doesnt work. When I check for errors it says "Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid ip configuration. When I restart my computer sometimes it works but sometimes it doesnt. I am not using a router, coz I live in hostel and they provide me the internet, I just hav to connect the LAN cable to my laptop. And when Im having this problem the internet connection is named "unidentified network".
I�m having intermittent network/internet problems on my dsl wired ethernet connection. Sometimes the internet works fine. Other times the internet is really slow or the network says unidentified network. I run the troubleshooter and it resets the local area connection adapter, giving the error that LAC didn�t have a valid IP configuration. But this fix doesn't seem to last more than a day or so. Also, downloads with windows firewall and/or zonealarm firewall on fail or are interrupted, but not when firewall is turned off. I�ve tried a clean install of Windows. Reinstalled drivers. Reset the modem. I tried ipconfig /renew. Nothing seems to work. Windows 7 home premium 64 bit Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit Ethernet All my drivers are updated.

I am using a Dial up connection but when I have to connect dial up connection then I have to change my local area connection ip. Is there any tip or method which is able to my local area connection ip through batch programming/Command prompt ?I need random ips every time before connect from dial up connection. Would it be possible from batch programming.
I got a new laptop a couple days ago. It was for work so I brought it to the office. We have an open network in the office, you just need to plug into it with a regular cable. We've had it for years and it always worked. Not this time.When I'd first plugged it, it came online, but the connection had been lost in a couple minutes. When nothing obvious worked, I tried to diagnose and got the infamous "Local Area Connection doesn't have valid IP configuration" error. I've googling it ever since, trying to do everything possible to fix this.The network adapter is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I've tried using different cable, restarting the router, all the ipconfig stuff, resetting winstock etc. I've formatted the hard drive and installed Win 7 from scratch. I've checked the BIOS - it only has one LAN-related setting and it's enabled. I've been to Realtek website and downloaded their latest drivers. The latest one is from JanFinally I've seen a few thread suggesting that this whole issue is router-related. So I brought the laptop home to try it there without any router in the way. It was pretty much the same - got connection, working for half a minute, gone. Diagnosing got me the same error. I've tried disabling ipV6 and playing with adapter configuration, but it didn't change much.
At home i only have a wifi internet connection and i dont have a reciever for my desktop so i was using my laptop to share the internet connection through a Lan cable But today all of a sudden my desktop cant connect to the internet anymore because "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration" I have tried all the solutions i could google but nothing helped Heres the ipconfig /all from my desktop:

(btw im not sure if i did the static IP solution right because How to Assign a Static IP Address in XP, Vista, or Windows 7 - How-To Geek just shows the "how to" but no the rules that govern the process so i might have screwed up)
