Errors 1231/1232 Unidentified Network

Yes I have... it reinstalls the same driver, no difference.

well, we are down to only a few options. the fact that you were
previously directly connected to the Internet without a router left
you more vulnerable to exploits than being behind a router. I don't
know the details of how you went from being directly connected via a
modem to having a 4-5 computer network.

But some questions -
did you disable and services or programs?
did you have a virus that you repaired?

the fact that the ipconfig /all only shows IPv6 active but no sign
of IPv4 while the GUI appears to show IPv4 active certainly proves
there is a problem. (it would be worth a final test to disable IPv6
in network props for the NIC just to see what shows up in ipconfig
/all)

Hey Barb.. You'll be happy to know I have got it working!! =D
Basically, the problem was that the Xincom router firmware was a little
outdated, and they released a new version 2 months ago, this year, so
upgrading that router fixed all the problems. Everything works great now.

Thanks a lot for your help, I can configure the rest myself.
You obviously are very knowledgeable in this area, so I guess if you're
helping other people, suggest to upgrade their firmware ;)
Thanks again.
