    IP configuration not valid - interference from ethernet adapter?


    Solution 1: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1or Windows 10

    Step 1:

    Go to Device Manager → Network adapters.
    Step 2:

    Expand it (Network adapters).


    Step 3:

    Select your network adapter


    Step 4:

    Right click on your wireless network adapter or Ethernet adapter and then tap “Update Driver Software”.
    (in this case your network adopter is Ethernet adopter so tap your Ethernet adapter)
    Step 5:

    Now on a new window you will need to click on “Browse my computer for driver software”.

  3. Only on Windows 11 with Lenovo USB-C dock Ethernet not working

    Hello ,

    Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

    Firstly, could you let me know the specific system version (OS Build)? You can check it by pressing Win + X > System > Windows specifications, click “Copy” and paste it in your next reply.

    You can follow the steps below:

    1. I suggest that you check if the Ethernet adapter is enabled in the Device Manager. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
      2. Expand the Network adapters section.
      3. Look for the Ethernet adapter and check if it is enabled. If it is disabled, right-click on it and select Enable device.
    2. If the Ethernet adapter is already enabled, try updating the driver for the Ethernet adapter. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
      2. Expand the Network adapters section.
      3. Right-click on the Ethernet adapter and select Update driver.
      4. Select Search automatically for updated driver software and follow the on-screen instructions.
    3. If updating the driver does not resolve the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Ethernet adapter driver. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
      2. Expand the Network adapters section.
      3. Right-click on the Ethernet adapter and select Uninstall device.
      4. Restart your computer.
      5. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver for the Ethernet adapter.
    4. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the network settings on your Windows 11 computer. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
      2. Click on Network & internet.
      3. Scroll down and click on Network reset.
      4. Click on Reset now and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Having a problem with trying to locate the driver for ethernet.

    8800GTS problems.

    Seems pretty strange to me. I have a standard 8800GTS, the only problem I get is the BSOD nv4_disp.dll thing, which in my case I think is linked to heat on other parts of the video card.

    I would suggest completely removing the drivers using Driver Cleaner, and install the ones that came with the card first. If the problem continues, remove again, try the newest drivers. If it still happens, underclock the card and try the same steps. In the end, talk to EVGA and see what they tell you.
