My internet was working fine, but one day it stopped working at all (I am using ethernet connection). It just says 'No internet'. I can ping and ping 8.8.8.8. but when I launch the browser none of the websites works.

I am using Windows 10.

The cable is fine, I tried different ones and no effect.

What I have already tried:

  1. When ipconfig /all and for Ethernet adapter Ethernet it prints all the information. For all others (LAN, wifi) it says Media state..............: Media disconnected.

  2. I run Network adapter troubleshooter and it reset the adapter. That didn't help either.

Could you please help me with it?

PS: I also cannot browse through WI-FI, even though when I use wifi it doesn't say 'No internet' - just 'Connected, secured'.

Try completely reinitialising all network states.

Run the following commands in an elevated cmd shell:

  • Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults (reboot required):

    netsh winsock reset catalog

  • Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults:

    netsh int ip reset reset.log

  • Reset Firewall to installation defaults:

    netsh advfirewall reset

  • Flush DNS resolver cache:

    ipconfig /flushdns

  • Renew DNS client registration and refresh DHCP leases:

    ipconfig /registerdns

  • Flush routing table (reboot required):

    route /f

If you see:

nslookup google.com *** Request to UnKnown timed-out DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. 

Then set DNS servers to:

8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 

Manual:

  1. open network connection settings

  2. set Google Public DNS
