First a little description of the setup:
A desktop PC with win 10 redstone, connected to a laptop with win 10, and a WIFI connection to the BB router. This has worked for ages, with the laptop sharing the Internet connection to the desktop.
Last night the laptop installed the redstone/anniv. "upgrade", and rebooted as it should. The Internet connection on the desktop PC now has the dreaded yellow warning triangle. Troubleshooting now shows the problem "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration". Tried releasing IP, on both laptop and desktop, rebooting, rebooting router, made sure both have ipv4 set to auto etc. Nothing works. Both comps show Unidentified network. Device manager does not give any warnings, tried reinstalling the laptops network controller to no avail. The wifi connection on the laptop is still working as intended, and is showing as shared.
On the laptop I have three connections available: Cisco VPN client (disabled) Local Area Connection (with unidentified network) and the WIFI (working and sharing turned on). On the desktop I have Ethernet (with unidentified network) and Ethernet 2 (This is a VPN showing as cable unplugged)
IPconfig shows DHCP enabled etc, but I still get a 169.264 IPv4 address on the desktop.
Any suggestions on how I can get my connection on the desktop back? I am 99.997% certain the redstone update on the laptop somehow caused this. Sorry for the messy post, I've been searching around for hours, and I'm about to go postal here 😛
