Ethernet doesn't have a valid ip configuration

[28dayslate]

I have tried everything. When I plug the ethernet into my laptop, it connects just fine. When i connect it to my desktop, it gives me that error when I run a diagnoses.
I have disabled IPv6.
I did the command prompt where I type the netsh stuff.
I have disabled, reenabled.
I uninstalled and installed.
I reset router/modem.
This all started because I reinstalled windows 10 home.
It was working just fine before.

When you installed and uninstalled do you mean Network drivers?

The most obvious omission is a call to your ISP.

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120311154418AAab5mk is an old answer of mine. It's old so ignore the ipv6 and replace it with 4.

Yes that's what I meant.

The wifi module works on my desktop. But wifi is slow compared to ethernet that's why I just want this ethernet problem fixed. I know it's not the router/modem. I know it's not the Ethernet cord. It has something to do with my desktop. BUT IDK WHAT

Interesting user name. Does that also mean the oven's on?

CALL YOUR ISP😀 Like I said in my post over at Y!A they will probably ask you to remove the router from the picture.

do ipconfig /all in a command prompt and post the result here

I really don't want to see 169. But if I do that helps.

I looked in the device manager and found PCI Simple Communications Controller has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. Is that the problem? I have a MSI motherboard with a disc. I am assuming it has all the drivers I need? Thing is my desktop doesn't have a disc drive, so should I transfer all disc files to a usb?

I would download the latest driver from the MSI website with the slow Wi-Fi. The driver on the disc would be outdated.

Nice troubleshooting on your end😀

MSI drivers got it working. AWESOME
