I have win10 on a machine on our home lan. the lan functions perfectly for 5 other machines on it.
Also for that machine most of the time.
but sometimes it will boot with no connection - though 'connections available'
and sometimes even with 'no connections found'
where the previous night it was working perfectly.
sometimes set DNS to auto fixes it.
sometimes set DNS to a fixed address fixes it.
IPv6 on or off the same.
No matter what - the problem comes back.
The troubleshooter does dumb things like report no ethernet cable as the problem when it is troubleshooting wifi adapter
This morning I finally get it going after swapping adapters and usb ports.
Working fine.
Then ten minutes later it's all gone again.
'Can't connect to network' right now.
It seems erratic and irrational. I've installed/uninstalled drivers, too.
I think it needs a 'higher level' fix: like the whole internet module replacing.
Or maybe a whole new install of windows.
Any ideas/suggestions?
