Hello,
In the forum topic Fiber, Ethernet & Connectivity problems I already mentioned that I had internet connection issues.
I found that I could not connect due the fact I could not connect to the DHCP server. However after tomfoolery I think
I am still at point zero.
After some further investigation I did tried a few new things. (This whole fixing my internet has been quiet a learning curve.)
- I did a ping test, which failed.
- I used the ipconfig /all command (i think I found an anomaly)
Here is the cmd:
- Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]
- (c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
- C:\Windows\System32>ping google.com
- Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again
- .

Here the CMD ends.
Is the IP routing being disable the problem? If so, do I fix it (in Windows 8.1) by:
regedit.exe > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters > IpEnableRouter set value to 1.
AVEHD, thank you for reading
