I've also disbled/enabled the adapter and even swapped ehternet cables. My home network is still working with my laptops and other desktop that wired in, and I'm getting a green light on the back of my computer where the ethernet is plugged in. Also, it has a wireless LAN that doesn't work either. the wireless says it has limited connectivity, but the diagnostics says the same error about the binding IP protocol.

lets see a device manager and service status
theres no adapters in that ipconfig /all

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device Manager
Post back the results in device manager
You will now need to take a screen shot and copy that back to the working PC.
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the screen shot and attach the screen shot in a reply on the forum here.

how to access device manager for different windows versions

on a laptop you may need to use Hold the Windows key and press FN key + the pause key

post a screen shot of the device manager - network adapters

You might try a stack repair.

Start, type CMD in the search box. Right click on CMD.exe, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands, each followed by the Enter key:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.

yes, its not showing up in ipconfig /all - although it was in device manager

can you try a system restore again to before the issue started
also can we see a device manager screen shot - only if it is NOT still the same as the 1st one ?

may need to run sfc /scannow

  • Click in the radio button Choose a different restore point
  • Click Next
  • put a tick in Show more restore points
  • Pick a Date before this happened
  • Click Next
This should restore the PC to that time & date

I did the scan now thing and it didnt find anything wrong, so I went on to the system restore. I went back to the last windows update instead of the automatic save, and when it rebooted it now works. Thank you for all the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
