Headstumper on Xmas Eve

Ewanb75 · 26 Dec 2024 at 12:44

So I went out Xmas Eve morn for an hour, used pc perfectly fine, came home and no internet on it at all.

Everything else in the house works, used my daughters pc to look at the router (vodafone, shh I know) and it shows up my daughters as Asrock but only shows the mac address for my pc, also it only has ipv6 settings whereas my daughters has ipv4 and ipv6.

I also cant open network settings, and I have a firewall warning saying it is using settings which may make it unsafe.

I have ran Malwarebytes etc, nothing has been found.

Ive had a fiddle this morning reading thru various websites and have managed to get a few sites working now (Daily Mail, here) but no bt email and my accounts (Epic, Steam say offline)

Any ideas at all?

Cheers & Merry belated Chrimbo

Its on board gigabit, Ive uninstalled, reinstalled, updated drivers, bios. I have a new nic coming tomorrow, but was hoping I could sort it before.

Yip, and reset to factory twice. I cant connect to router from my pc. this may work for 10 mins and go down but it works with a restart again.

Its toggled on. just managed to get in, doesnt show any ipv4, a diagnose says DIagnosis policy isnt running. i can get on for a few mins, then off it pops again and need to restart
