(P.S now none of the Routers are working) (p.p.s i use something called TP-Link it allows me to send ethernet signals through the power line but that cant be the problem since the wireless function still works on other devices)
 
As you can see, the protocol says "Media Disconnected". It might be a bad cable, plug not inserted properly or something like that. Try again with another cable, until one of the LEDs in the socket lits.
You can try a wireless adapter as well, but I recommend an USB stick over a card. The card has he antenna behind the PC, facing the wall. An USB adapter connected to a front port typically works better.
 


thank you i have several cables to swap out and not enough time right now but ill do it later :)

 


"Media disconnected" is referring to the isatap tunnel adapter and not his Ethernet connection.


Cube are you getting link lights on the back of you machine where the network cable goes in?
 

Right! I mixed it up.
 


umm there is a orange light that light up.. if thats what u mean

 

The orange light means, that you have an electrical connection. It must be a configuration problem. If it is still not fixed, please try again the "ipconfig /all" command. The output should include setting for DHCP, DNS and so on.

Hi, I am having this same problem. What can I do about the tunnel isatap not having DHCP enabled?
