Connected to internet but connection showing not connected to any netwrok.

Hi Satya,

1. What is the make and model of your computer?
2. What steps are you referring to when you say "have tried a lot of other steps "?

This issue might occur if you have multiple netork adapter installed on the computer or if the network profile is not getting detected.

You may try these steps if not yet tried and check if that works:

Method 1:

If you hover your mouse over the red X, 'Click to diagnose' appears. Clicking would activate the network troubleshooting wizard. Run the troubleshooter to diagnose and repair the network problem.
There are many other ways to access Network Troubleshooter. Refer to the below link to know about the same.

Method 2:

Step 1:

If method 1 doesn’t help try to totally rebuild your network connections.

a)       Go to the start and type Device Manager.

b)       Select device manager from the Control Panel list.

c)       In the Device Manager, select View>Show Hidden Devices.

If the Show Hidden devices is not present, do the following command from a command prompt
Here’s how:

·         Go to start and type cmd.

·         Right click on cmd and select “Run as administrator”.

·         Type the following command and press enter.

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1.

d) Locate the Network Adapters and remove all of them from the device manager by right clicking and selecting Uninstall.
e) Close the device manager.

Step 2:

Once this is done get the latest driver updates for your network card visiting the manufacturer’s website. Installing latest network card driver solves most of the networking issues. The best way to do this is by downloading from the Manufacturer’s website. Download the driver compatible with Windows 7.

 Please post with the issue status.

Hi Satya,

Are you using the same router to connect multiple computers?

If you are using the router only with this computer and it is not functioning properly then I would suggest you to update the firmware for the router and check if the issue persists.

To do so please get in touch with the Internet Service Provider.

Hi Satya,

 

Thank you for the update.

 

In order to solve this problem, delete the old network profile and create a new one and check.

Follow these steps to delete the old user profile:

a. Click on Start button->Control panel-> Network and Sharing Center. .

b. Once the Network and Sharing Center is open, click on the link "Manage Wireless Network Connections" located in the menu on the left.

c. Once you open the Wireless Network Manager, right click on the network with the incorrect settings then select the option remove network.

d. Once the network profile is deleted, Windows will ask for the new settings the next time you try to connect to the wireless network and you should be able to connect without any problems.

 

Now refer to the article to create a new network profile and check.

Hi Satya,

 

This could happen due to third party application as well.

The steps also applies for Windows 7.

 

Please get back to us with the results.

Hi Satya,

1. Did you recently change the Modem or the ISP?

2. Are you working on VPN and incoming connection?

3. Which security/antivirus software is installed on the computer?

To troubleshoot this issue further you may try these steps:

Reset the network configuration:

a) Click Start, type regedit in the start search window and then press ENTER.

b) Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

c) HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network

d) Right-click the above subkey, click Export, and then save the selected branch in a file.

e) Click the Network subkey again, and then delete the Config entry.

f) Note: Do not delete the Network subkey. The Config entry will be reconstructed when you restart the computer.

g) Restart the computer.

Hi Satya,

Since we have tried all possible steps and still the issue persists, so I would suggest you to perform an In-place upgrade to resolve the issue.

Refer to the following link to do the same:

Note:                         
You may backup data on an external hard disk and not CDs. It is critical to backup data even if you are doing an in-place upgrade.
