    Internet connection lost


    On Friday, there was an update by Windows 10 and immediately afterwards I lost my internet connection. I contacted the chat help and the lady there had me try a couple of things which did not help including reversing the update.
    i contacted my service provider and they could see my pic which meant that I was still connected.
    all my other devices work fine - iPad, phone and my laptop.
    the pc is connected to the router via Ethernet cable (it doesn't have wifi) so I tried connecting my laptop using the cable and it worked fine.
    it looks as if the update changed some internal settings (I compared all the 'visible' settings to those on the laptop and they seemed OK).
    The network driver is Realtek.
    I also tried going to an older driver which also did nothing to help.
    any advice will be gratefully received but please be gentle - I am not a pc expert.s
    thanks.

    Go to the search bar (lower left of desktop) and enter the word: cmd
    Then within that black pop-up box enter: ipconfig
    Press enter and tell us all you see (paste the image if possible).

    Hi Kanata,

    let me me try and type this without any errors:
    Ethernet adapt or Ethernet:

    Connection-specific DNS suffix . : Home
    IPv6 Address . . . . . : fdf9:e862:6be2:0:d7:5002;aerate:6c60
    Temporary IPv6 Address ....fdf9:e862:6be2:0:4552:47a7:fe8b:bac3
    Link-local IPv6 Address . . . : fe80: :d7:5002:aerate:6c60%5
    IPv4 Address . . .: 192.168.0.7
    Subnet Mask . . .: 255.255.255..0
    Default Gateway . . . . : 192.168.0.1

    Tunnel adapted Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

    Connection-specific DNS Suuffix . ;
    IPv6 Address . . . . : 2001:0:5ef5.79fd:246b:11d5:3f57:fff8
    Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . : fe80::246b::11d5:3f57:fff8%6
    Default Gateway . . .:

    Tunnel adapted isatap.Home:

    Media State . . .: Media disconnected
    Connection . . .:

    Hopefully I managed to get that all correct.

    When I look at the Network Connections pop-up, it gives me Ethernet, Network 2, Realtek PCIe GBE Family controller.

    Thanks

    Have you any virtualization programs installed? (VirtualBox or any other emulator)

    Nothing that I am aware of. Unless Flight Simulator has an emulator built in?

    Could be a bit difficult. I would need to get it on to my iPad somehow.

    I'm in meetings for a while now but will see what I can do later this morning.

    what do you want a screen dump of?

    You have 3 network connection, they can affect each other if are not configured right. Try disabling all except Realtek adapter (just simple rightclick on connection and click on "Disable").

    Forgive my ignorance. I learnt IT with mainframes.
    Do you mean going in via Device Manager and Network Adaptors? That gives me quite a long list.

    If I use "Open Network and Sharing Center", it only shows one connection.

    Apologies for being a bit thick on this but thanks for all your help

    On the right panel in the Network and Sharing Center, you will see a "Change adapter settings" link. Screenshot of that window would be really helpful.
