Unidentified Network but also Connected?

[Jordan590]

So this problem just started on my HP Pavilion 15 about 2 days ago, when me and my girlfriend were playing minecraft(I know, I know) and we were playin gon a lan server. Then we exited the server, got something to eat and came back within 10 mins. All of a sudden the laptop wouldn't show any lan servers when I had mine up on my other comp. Plus, when I hover over the Wi-Fi connection at the taskbar, it says
"Bell593
Internet Access


Unidentified network
No internet access"

I didn't change any settings. The ipconfig shit is:

someone please help me, I have no idea what to do


UPDATE:
Sooooo apparently it wasn't my laptop/computer in discussion, it was my new one. I installed BlackBerry Link to help my girlfriend out with her phone and apparently BlackBerry kinda just took my LAN adapter for it's own use and that's what the problem was. Haha, oops 😛

It just means that your wireless router kicked you off the original connection and your computer made a new one (while the old one was active). Just restart the wireless (or just restart the computer) and it should be back to normal.

Already restarted wireless, lan, and computer and nothing has changed. Anything else I can do ?

Try turning off wireless and then deleting all your saved networks. After that turn it back on and connect to that router

I did that and it's still showing the exact same thing

This is your unidentified network with no Internet access. 169.254.x.x is the IP address Microsoft Windows defaults to when it can't find a DHCP server.

This is presumably your Bell593 connection and has Internet access.

If I had to guess, I'd say you did something to your LAN connection which removed the DHCP server (maybe plugged the laptop straight into the server computer?). The LAN connection persisted for a while based on the old IP address it leased via DHCP. But while you were away the lease expired and the computer was unable to get a new IP address via DHCP, so it changed the IP address to 169.254.x.x and gave you a (confusing) message saying there's a cable plugged in with something at the other end, but it can't get an IP address nor get to the Internet.

Then how can I fix this? I don't even have a cord plugged into my ethernet, and I haven't for a couple months.
