Windows 8.1 Limited connection/Unidentified network via ethernet

[_MMMatt]

So basically when connecting via Ethernet my computer gets unidentified network or limited connection, but on wireless it connect OK. Looked around a lot of different solutions but none seem to keep the problem down for more than a couple of days, any help would be appreciated.

Will post any links which are asked for.

What are your IP configurations for wireless and wired connections? Can you ping the router/modem?

This is my ipconfig/all, I can't seem to get the ethernet to connect to a different ipv4 address, even if I enter it manually. http://gyazo.com/2e58649f63b1178989e0ae0c2b100046

169.254.47.201 is automatically assigned by Windows when you are not connected to a network. You should be getting an internal IP address like 192.168.0.10 (the last digits will be 2 - 254 instead of 10 depending upon how many other computers are connecting to the router). It is best to have DHCP enabled and allow the router to provide an IP address.

First - check your LAN connection - make sure the lights are showing on both the router and the PC. Try replacing the cable with a known good cable. You can also try a different port on the router. Last check would be rebooting the router.

Second - check device manager to make sure that the onboard LAN connection is working. Try updating the drivers to the most current for your mobo.

Typing the following two commands will attempt to reconnect to the router:
IPCONFIG /RELEASE
IPCONFIG /RENEW

Tried all your solutions but unfortunately they didn't work. This is an ipconfig from another computer in the house http://gyazo.com/9c755df3ea321fa80299c04bb32ea145
The only difference between our connections is mine is going through a TP_LINK and his is direct, could this be affecting it?

roll back your "realtek pcie gbe family controller" driver version or go to the drivers advanced properties tab, locate speed and duplex item and set a speed
to 100M full duplex (rather than auto) reboot and see if that works.

value depends on what motherboard version of the chip you have installed.

No luck with changing the speed and duplex and I don't think I'm able to roll the drivers back.

Your network uses a similar IP scheme - slightly different from what I mentioned - is should be 192.168.1.XXX where XXX is a number between 2 and 253.

Did you see lights on the LAN adapter?

Yes all the lights are on as normal.

you might check the date of the realtk ethernet driver, I think it was just updated and heard people were rolling back the driver version because of some problem.
Some people reinstalled the wireless driver to get the system to work. (sounds stupid but it changes the order of the network providers)

Under Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Network connections (you have to click "change adapter settings" on Network and Sharing Center to bring up the connections). Double click your "Local Area Connection. Check your IP 4 properties: http://prntscr.com/4vymtz

You want to make sure that it states "obtain IP address automatically" http://prntscr.com/4vynf2

Did you download the drivers from Realtek? http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Yep, hasn't seemed to make any difference, starting to think its most likely a hardware problem as I've tried basically every solution I've seen out there.

 

[ronintexas]

It could be.

recalling "TP_LINK and his is direct" posted above

I'm guessing your using some sort of wireless extender correct???? and this is the only menetion that you are using one that is easy to overlook. now please tell us what model it is??? how far is the sender from the reciver??

it prob not configured right or the sender is not in range of your reciver

this can explain his ip going to default windows one
