Windows 10: Unidentified network problem

I recently moved and have been preparing cables and such for the network in the apartment. My pc is plugged into a router through a cat6 cable, and the router is plugged into a fiber box. I get "Unidentified network" on my pc, running diagnostics says that ethernet doesnt have valid ip configuration. Ipconfig /release gives an error saying An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint.


I have restarted router and such to no avail, the cable works in other devices and using a static ip changes nothing.


Any advice?

Unidentified network

Hi, Badrobot and thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately the issue is still not resolved. The connection still shows as Unidentified and it disconnects frequently.

 

Unidentified network no internet access

Followed all the steps still isn't working. The only difference in network is that before it use to show "Unidentified network" and after giving the IP's its showing my routers name then "No internet"
When I use this cable and port on my other Toshiba laptop it works fine.

 

Unidentified network and file sharing

Using Network List Manager Policies
to change the settings for unidentified networks indeed helps, but it just cannot be right that this simple setup requires the use of secpol.msc to configure sharing between 2 computers, and by the way, do the Home version have secpol.msc installed?

I think the problem is caused because Windows see the network as unidentified, therefore I cannot just do settings->Network& Internet->Ethernet and then left click on my network and change it. So what is required for a network to be identified?

The consequence is that everybody who does this simple setup will probably switch of the firewall for everything.
