Windows 7 [HELP] I cannot connect to internet due to "Unidentified Network". Please help ASAP

[AlyssaBelle]

Most of the problem is in the description. I'm unable to connect wirelessly (excuse my spelling). I'm running an EEPC netbook. I don't know what version or anything. I have windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Here's my IP config taken from the CMD (Command Prompt).

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

I see your issue with connecting wirelessly on your EEPC netbook running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Let's address the problem based on the information you provided, particularly from your IP configuration. Here are a few steps and things to check to troubleshoot your wireless connection issue: 1. Wireless LAN adapter status: - The "Wireless Network Connection 2" is showing as "Media disconnected." This can indicate that the wireless adapter is currently not connected or experiencing issues. 2. IP Configuration: - Your wireless adapter "Wireless Network Connection" has an assigned IPv4 Address of 192.168.., which suggests it's connected to a local network. - The Default Gateway is listed as 192.68.0.1, which might be a typo. It should typically be 192.168.0.1 for most home networks. - The DNS Servers are set to Google's Public DNS Servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). 3. Troubleshooting Steps: - Check Wireless Switch: Ensure that the physical wireless switch (if available) on your netbook is turned on to enable the wireless connection. - Check Connection: Make sure you are within range of the wireless network and that the network is functioning correctly. - Reconnect to Network: Try disconnecting and reconnecting to the wireless network. - Update Wireless Driver: Check if there are any available updates for your Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter driver. - Reboot Router: Sometimes, restarting the router can resolve connectivity issues. - Check Security Settings: Ensure you have the correct security settings (like the correct password) if the network is secured. 4. Verify Default Gateway: - Double-check the Default Gateway and ensure it's correctly set to 192.168.0.1 as it's a common gateway address for home networks. 5. DNS Settings: - Your DNS servers seem fine with Google's DNS, but if issues persist, you can also try switching to automatic DNS settings to see if that helps. By going through these steps and checking the settings, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the wireless connection issue on your EEPC netbook. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you encounter any specific errors during the troubleshooting process.
