How do I fix "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration"

Question

So, the title says the problem. I followed this guides' intructions - https://softwarekeep.com/help-center/solved-ethernet-doesnt-have-a-valid-ip-configuration-in-windows-10 - to try and fix the problem. It didn't.

This issue has presented itself before, I could only fix it after resetting windows entirely. It hasn't even been 2 months since.

Sincerely, having to reset windows every 2 months to fix this issue just doesn't seem viable, so I come to ask if anyone can give me a new solution or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

Hi Sílvia Formigo,

try to reset network connections: Open PowerShell or CMD and run as administrator, copy and paste the following commands by pressing enter at the end of each command line:

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

netsh advfirewall reset
ipconfig /flushdns

Restart the computer at the end of all commands.

If it doesn't solve it, come back here and specify the model of your ethernet network adapter, you can find it from Device Manager>network adapters.
