I want to capture traffic on Ethernet 4 but you can see that Ethernet 4 is not present in Wireshark network interface though Ethernet 4 is present in Networking and sharing center. I use windows 10 and latest version of wireshark- 2.0.4. Your device may not be capable of running in promiscuous mode. – D34DM347 Jul 14 '16 at 15:40.

How to Fix Unidentified Network – no internet access in Windows 10

There are a number of reasons which could be causing this problem. So, there are many ways to solve the issue. We will go through each of the potential reason behind this issue and try fixing them. Follow the steps of these methods, until the problem is solved.

1. Hardware issue

The first way to solve the problem is to clear out that there is no hardware issue with the modem or router. Many people use dongles as well. So, before beginning to solve the problem from the inside, make sure there is no problem with the hardware. Try reconnecting or using another cable. Reset or reboot your Wi-Fi router and modem. Don’t forget to check your network adapter. Make sure it is placed perfectly in its port. Now, after making sure there is no hardware issue, proceed to the next method.

2. Airplane Mode

Windows 10 comes with Airplane Mode. Users who had their computers updated with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update / Anniversary Update / Creators Update reported turning Airplane Mode ON and then back to OFF, fixed the problem for them. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1. The Airplane Mode is located on the right pane or in the Action Center, which can be accessed from the right side of your taskbar. Click on the Notifications option on your taskbar. Or simply press Windows logo key + A

Step 2. Now, turn Airplane Mode ON and then OFF.

See if it fixes the issue. If not, move on to the next method.

3. Unidentified Network to Private or Public

In this method, we will set the unidentified network’s location to Private or Public. Doing this could fix the issue for you.

Step 1. Go to Cortana on the taskbar and type secpol.msc. Press Enter. This will open Local Security Policy.

Step 2. From the left side of the window, select Network List Manager Policies. Then, on the right side of the window, double-click on Unidentified Networks.

Step 3. Now, under Location Type, select Private and under User Permissions select User can change location. After doing this, click on Applyand then on OK.

Check if you are able to access the internet now. If the problem still exists, try the next method.

4. Switch off Fast Startup

It is almost tough not to notice how fast Windows 10 boots up than previous Windows OS versions. The reason behind this is a feature included in Windows 10 called Fast Startup. As Windows 10 is full of bugs, sometimes this very useful feature can cause problems. So, in this method, we will see if turning it off fixes the issue.

Step 1. Right-click on the Start button and select Power Options.

Step 2. Scroll down on the right side of the window and select Additional Power Settings.

Step 3. Select Choose what the Power button does from the left side.

Step 4. Now, click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.

Step 5. Under Shutdown settings, uncheck Turn on fast startup. Click on Save changes.

Step 6. Turn off your computer. Turn it back ON after 30 seconds.

This should fix the problem. If you are facing the issue, follow the next method. Also, as Fast Startup is not the one causing the problem, you can turn Fast Startup back to ON.

5. Disable Conflicting Network Connection Items

Networking connections use different software or programs, such as VPN program or wireless manager. These programs can cause conflict in connection, eventually causing an unidentified network. So, in this method, we will disable such conflicting network connection items.

Step 1. Right-click on the network connection icon in the taskbar and select Open Network & Internet Settings.

Step 2. Under Change your network settings, select Change adapter options.

Step 3. Now, right click on Ethernet or Local Area Connection, and select Properties.

Step 4. Under the Networking tab, you’ll find the conflict items. Uninstall them.

This should solve the error. If the problem still persists, try the next method.

6. Add IP Address Manually

Sometimes faulty IP address may be the cause behind this error. So, in this method, we will add the IP address manually in Ethernet/Wireless Network Connection Properties. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1. Right-click on the network connection icon in the taskbar and select Open Network & Internet Settings.

Step 2. Under Change your network settings, select Change adapter options.

Step 3. Now, right click on Ethernet or Local Area Connection, and select Properties.

Step 4. Now, under the Networking tab, click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click on Properties.

Turn wii into dvd player. It just said apps/dvdx/boot.dol. So I just loaded it up, and I got to something called 'dvd stub installer' or something along those lines. I did a normal install, which took about two seconds, and then I went back to HBC. I'm not sure I have dvdx because when I tried loading a DVD in mplayer it didn't work.

Step 5. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. Then add the following IP addresses manually:

Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

Click OK after entering the IP address.

Step 6. Now, go to Cortana and type Command Prompt. Select Command Prompt from results, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.

Step 7. In the command prompt window, type the following commands and press Enter after each command.

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Step 8. Restart your computer.

Check if this has solved the problem. If you are still getting the error, try the next method.

7. Refresh Network Settings

In this method, we will try to refresh the network settings from the Command Prompt window using a number of commands.

Step 1. Go to Cortana and type Command Prompt. Select Command Prompt from results, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.

Step 2. Now, in the Command Prompt window, enter the following commands one by one. Also, don’t forget to press Enter after every command.

This should solve the problem. If you have any questions, or if you were able to solve this error through some other method, don’t forget to mention them below in comments.
