Problems with Ethernet Connection.
Hi this is my first forum post and i desperately need help. I apologise in advance if i do not post all the information needed regarding my problem to seek out a resolution.
I have owned my PC for almost two years and it has acted up in the past before. At first i suspected it to be the ISP but it was a malfunction within the Ethernet adapter i was using.
This time it is something completely different.
1) My connection is shown as a Public Network and unidentified and therefore i cannot access the internet.
2) The error code i get can when i trouble shoot it can be two different things - at first it was something to do with Missing Socket Entries which only appeared once and the rest of the time it states:
"One or more network protocols are missing on this computer"
I assumed the network protocols were something to do with the IPv4 & IPv6 so i went to configure the adapter and installed the client feature to Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) as the uninstall button was greyed out which led me to assume that it wasnt present in my system.
THIS WORKED and i regained my internet connection temporarily. I left it for the day and upon returning to my PC, the problem has gone back to how it used to be.
I still get the same error message and i cannot seem to understand let alone fix the problems with my adapter.
I don't have a great depth of technological knowledge so any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
