Hi Hawkera I'm unclear about Forum etiquette too, we should possibly be having a private message chat but what we write may help others so I'm not worried and I expect that Halcion1 is very pleased to learn he is still helping people with his solution. I did look for Bonjour at the beginning...

Hi Hawkera / Forum I don't know from your post what it is that you've just done to get your Unidentified Network / No Internet Access working again, but I have been stuck on this for about 18 months and invested in a new laptop as my way out, whilst my lovely Win 7 tower with oomphs of go...

Very Long Term "Unidentified Network" / No Internet Access is now Complicated in Troubleshooting by Part-Time Fake Windows The Unidentified public Network with no internet instead of the named Home Network with Internet access has been a feature of this 3 yr old tower PC for probably the last...

Yes, my NIC is an Intel 82566DM-2, but in the Advanced Property entries there is no Network Address setting and no MAC Address setting either. In the Locally Administered Address there is the ability to enter any 12 digits, so I have tried a foreshortened IP address and MAC sample address...

I tried to find a place in the NIC advanced settings for a MAC address but it wasn't present. The only entry I can change is for "Locally Administered Address" and when I enter a random value I do get connectivity for about 40 seconds. Indeed any change to the network card, such as disabling and...

After backing up I have been through the registry entries as identified, in particular removing the ones not found in the referred to system and indeed they are not on my neighbouring laptop either. These are: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters]...

I did look, twice, in the BIOS for anything related. I saw nothing but will look again for "ME". The tool refers to it being a pre-boot BIOS extension, so is the extension in the BIOS or outside (somewhere), I wonder. This machine was bought and paid for as being high spec and new, so in my rush...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have not managed to pause the machine boot with the very brief message in order to be able to read it, so I have taken a video of the boot. I have been able to freeze on the frame in question. I do not know how to extract one frame...

This registry key may be of interest: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip so it's in the attached zip, but labelled with a .txt extension - there are 2 copies, one gathered in NM i.e. Normal Mode and the other obtained in SMN i.e. Safe Mode with Networking. I imagine they...

Thanks. It looks like I didn't mention clearly that I did indeed try your suggestion of plugging in another router instead of the one on which it does not see a default gateway. I have become reluctant to break a perfectly working (i.e internet and all respective devices / computers seen) pair...

It seems from Cisco router questions, such as Article No. 16786 on Search that the tech term is "cascading" routers is appropriate for my connecting the two routers and that my connection is LAN to WAN, where as far as I can see the only setup requirement is that the routers' IP addresses be in...

Having studied the Netgear WPN824 documentation, this device can act as a range extender which seems to be also called a repeater, in wireless but not wired mode. So, I could remove my successful mains network to the Netgear (whilst retaining the mains network adaptors everywhere else). Then...

Yes, certainly, I did all that I understood, but not with the odd refinement - you've mentioned the couple of further steps. So, have now repeated it, not only adding adding the intended default gateway but also finding it persisting in the advanced settings, instead of just checking it had...

Edit: I have found atchksrv.exe (atchksrv Intel(R) Active Management Technology System Status Service - Displays status of Intel(R) Active Management Technology Intel Corporation c:\program files\intel\amt\atchksrv.exe) in Autoruns, so will be able to turn that off too, to test.
