My laptop is unable to access Wi-fi connectivity. I have not made any changes to the software or hardware. It happened whilst travelling overseas: it was able to access Wi-fi in one overseas location and then stopped doing so in the next overseas location and has not worked since. The message I am getting is : Windows couldn't automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the network adaptor. My laptop is a Dell Vostro 15 5510.

    Hello, how are you?

    I understand that you are having problems with your Internet connection.

    Press Windows+R, type msinfo32 and click OK, when opening the info window, send me a printscreen please.

    Please perform all procedures below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1

    I suggest that you go to the website of the manufacturer of your equipment from another computer and consult it by model, download the latest drivers, such as network card, sound card, video card, chipset, Bios, among others and install on your computer.

    Restart the computer and see if the behavior still persists, follow the procedure below.

    Method 2

    Problems solution.

    The Troubleshooting section of the Control Panel includes more than a dozen network, Internet, audio and video troubleshooting and program compatibility. Problem Solutions are not designed to solve all problems, but they usually save time and avoid major concerns.

    1. Press WIndows + I to open the settings window;
    2. In the search window type Troubleshooting and select the Recommended Recommended Troubleshooting option;
    3. Select "Start Operation" > "Internet Connections";

    If not, I recommend that you do the procedure below.

    Method 3

    1. Press Windows + X, select Windows Powershell (Admin);
    2. In the window, copy and column the operating commands below, pressing Enter at the end of each line:

    ipconfig /release [Enter]

    ipconfig /renew [Enter]

    ipconfig /flushdns [Enter]

    Netsh winsock reset [Enter]

    net localgroup administrators localservice /add [Enter]

    fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\ [Enter]

    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt [Enter]

    netsh winsock reset all [Enter]

    netsh int 6to4 reset all [Enter]

    Netsh int ip reset all [Enter]

    netsh int tcp reset all [Enter]

    netsh int teredo reset all [Enter]

    Netsh int ip reset [Enter]

    Netsh winsock reset [Enter]

    Test and see if the behavior is repeated, if the behavior continues and perform the next procedure.

    Method 4

    Resetting network settings

    1. Press the “Win ​​+ I” keys together to enter the Windows “Settings” menu;
    2. Then, enter the item "Network and Internet";
    3. From the "Status" tab, look for the "Network reset" item and click on it;
    4. On the new screen, click on “Restore Now” and restart your computer as prompted.
    5. After performing this procedure, the machine may take a while during the next startup, but just wait for it to be back to normal the next time. If you use a Wi-Fi network, be sure to connect to it again to use it again.
