Ethernet Multiple Networks detected, Local access only, Only one exists

**hatred** · 27-06-2008

I am using an HP Pavilion dv9894ca that has amd with the nForce Networking controller. After every restart, if I am plugging into an ethernet network then the Network and Sharing shows 2 networks both of which are local only. Even after getting a good connection, most of the times, the adapter keeps trying to identify some unidentified other network. I have read many articles to fix this problem but most of them are queries unresolved or so. I have also tried to use the most recent microsoft and nvidia drivers but that didnt work either. I have also turned off IPV6 and there is no problem with wireless connection. When I usually diable and enable the driver then the problem gets resolved until the next boot. The only problem that I can see is that when I ipconfig then there are 2 gateway IP addresses, which is mentioned below:

If you have got 2 default gateways then that might be the problem. Incase you have default gateway 0.0.0.0 then delete it. Normally, the fix for this issue is to use route delete 0.0.0.0 command and if that doesnt work then disable IPv6 and install new firmware.

That worked instantly, i cannot thank you much. It seems that I was not typing in the right keywords to find this solution and when checked the router table then I had 0.0.0.0, so the fix was to type route delete 0.0.0.0 in command prompt and then restart to get the full connectivity. Thanks once again.
