My work wireless network is stuck on identifying. It works for ALL other computers in the office. It works when I am wired to the router. I've tried most things that forums tell me to do. Below is the IP config. It is only this network and one other. Both are provided by verizon if that makes any difference.

It all happened pretty suddenly, from 1 day to the other, suddenly i was unable to connect to my home network. I started to troubleshoot, search forums etc. But no luck. I triedand look for the problem myself and found that thenetwork was enabled but it stayed on "identifying network". By clicking buttons from here and there on thecontrol panel i found something like a network recognition or something like that and a yellow little prompt appeared on the top of the explorer saying something like the network idetification was disabled, so i clicked and selected enable but it prompted again, so i just entered to the advanced network recognition center and noticed that on the public and private tabs netowrk recognition was disabled, so i clicked enable on both and saved changes, but the changes dont save, its like if i wasn't on a administrator account (but i had no error messages, it just wont enable).
I've been having this problem on my computer for about a month. I've seriously done everything everyone has suggested after searching every inch of every tech forum. The above did not work for me.
Yesterday I got one my computer and was on my internet then i closed my browser and 10 minutes later got back on but then it wouldnt let me so I went to my networking and sharing center and its stuck at Identifying..
I'm at my girlfriend's house and every laptop in the house works beside hers! I tried mine and it connects flawlessly also my itouch and my eee-pc also connect without any trouble but her laptop is stuck on Identifying i tried the whole netsh reset thing and sadly we cannot have access to her router as her dad hates it when we play in his Linux based stuff anyways any simple fix would be welcome, i hope no one will suggest changing routers/reinstalling the whole OS[CODE]
Where I tried to conect to my home wifi or the school's wifi and it just says "identifying" on the network connections and on the list of wifi networks around in the notification area it says "No internet acces" and can't connect to the internet. I stoped trying to look for a solution but I don't have internet at home
Out of all the computers in my house there is one computer that does not seem to be able to get an internet connection. Usally I would fire up the computer, then unplug and put back in the wireless device and it would start working but just recently no matter what I try it will not work. When I set the computer up to connect with a static ip, i get a local connection only (or at least thats what networking centre says) and when i rely on dhcp i get 'identifying network' forever. No network settings have been changed and I have tried an ethernet connection as well which also didn't work. I have tested the wireless device on another computer and it works fine.
A few days ago the internet on my desktop was working fine. now it has the 'limited or no connectivity' sign on it and i have done a few things to try and fix this. I started by trying a simple repair. it comes up with 'the following action can not be completed: Renewing your IP address' This lead me to try and restart my PC and router with no luck.
I then decided to look a bit further into it and went ito CMD and flushed the DNS. i then did 'ipconfig /release' which generated the response 'IP address for adapter wireless connection 9 has allready been released'. I then did 'ipconfig /renew' to which it generated an interestin response:
'An error occurred while renewing interface wireless network connection 9 : The RPC server is unavailable'
I have made sure my DNS client is on automatic, alont with my RPC (this was uneditable). Its not a router problem as i have had multiple devices connected before and my laptop is working just fine connecting wirelessly.
I've recently been on a kick of acquiring a small collection of the old school stackable Linksys equipment, and in one of my searches I came across a picture of one I'd never seen before.
i have tried many things i have tried to reset my router with the cmd prompt i have checked my drivers i have tried the simple things and at this point.
So here's a fresh spin (and not in a good way) on the seemingly common port-flapping issue, where a windows vista/7 machine's ethernet port vacillates between "enabling, identifying,network cable unplugged." I've tried the fixes I've seen around, like forcing the speed to 10 or 100Mb duplex,etc. But I think the problem goes deeper than that -or drivers or faulty NICs. Its acting like it's in the cabling. . . but not. Any advice would be welcome.Just switched from one DSL provider (Bell) to another (Teksavvy). Connected via a dry loop. When the Bell tech first set it up a year ago, he did it like this: Patch cord frome the Bell 2Wire modem/router combo to a female coupler. Female coupler attached to cat5 cable running about 25/30 feet along baseboards around the corner to another female coupler. Patch cord from female coupler to NIC in the back of my box. This worked fine. New set up with Tek savvy is as follows: DSL modem via patch cord to (wireless) D-Link router. D-link router connected to computer by same aforementioned setup. This results in the port-flapping named in the title of this message, on the hard line only. Any change in my computer was ruled out by connecting a brand new, never been connected laptop and the same terminal as my computer. Results in port flapping. The same laptop connected to the router by just the patch cord results in a perfect connection. I've tried moving the patch cords around, it doesn't change the results, so they're fine. I have no way of testing this long stretch of installed cable in the middle, with the couplers on it, since I don't have an equal length cable to try out anywhere, but I'd be surprised if that just died after a year's use exactly when I connected new hardware to the other end of it. Running windows 7 with a RealTek NIC on my box. D-Link router (will check the model later, at work at the moment), and TP-Link DSL modem. The system delivers wireless internet flawlessly.
why I have perfect internet access on my Desktop and other lap top but on my Toshiba Windows 7 I get the "Identifying...""No Internet Access" every time. Ive tried deleting the bonjour service.
Can't connect to my own Wireless Network? My Gateway Laptop network key is stuck with an old password? It seems to accept new password but never does connect, and when I retry, there's the old password back again, which I don't remember and was for the other modem. Have tried deleting the Realtec Wireless Adapter and reinstalling but the old password still returns? Tried renaming Wireless Network but old password still returns? Tried accessing Registry with no luck. Only way the Laptop can access is to leave Wireless Network Open/Unsecured, but that's not an option.

I am unable to connect to the wired network. We have a 4 port prolink router and there is no error with it. I know because I am using the same cable for my laptop, which I am using for my desktop. I just unplug it from the desktop and plug it to laptop. I am unable to provide any specs from the desktop because there is an error in that computer.
However, I can give ipconfig/all data from my father's computer, which use another port of the same router.
My laptop is working perfectly with the Mobile BroadBand. And this is a dual boot computer with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the cable is fine with Ubuntu.
Following is the result of ipconfig/all

i recently bought a dell mini laptop and i am already encountering problems with my wireless. i am on the laptop now, but i connected it via ethernet, and that is apparently working. whenever i hit repair it gets stuck at acquiring ip address.
I'm running a Windows XP Dell laptop. A few days ago I completely reformatted the computer because it was just starting to run slow. I reinstalled Windows from the factory CD and downloaded the latest drivers from Dell's website. Now suddenly, after the reformat, my network connection gets stuck on "Acquiring network address." Running ipconfig shows either 0.0.0.0 or a blank space for each field.Other laptops in the house work fine.I did discover that I can get it to say "Connected" if I go into the advanced settings and manually enter an IP address and use the subnet and gateway from my desktop's ipconfig results. The problem is that I can't actually get on the internet. It just says it's "connected."
A day ago, I was having trouble with my apartment modem, and due to a busy schedule, was only able to do a quick "Unplug and reset" which seemed to work at first, but eventually it stopped working all together. Today, I traveled from my apartment to my "home" home, where the wireless network is set at a "Home" security level. However, my wireless now will not connect at all. It continues to cycle through "Identifying" yet cannot make the connection. It works through a LAN connection however.So far, I've attempted the follow:
- run>ipconfig/all, ipconfig/reset, etc
- winsock reset
- system restore
My computer is a Samsung RC512, running windows 7. Here's the paste from my ipconfig/all:

I cannot connect my laptop to any of the normal wireless networks I use.It says, it's connected with good signal strength but than it never stops "identifying" and doesn't load any pages.
For a while now when I try to connect to my wireless router (Netgear WNR1000) It says "Identifying..." for a while, but then it will disconnect . My wireless only works sometimes if I reset the router every once and a while. Even then it will connect properly with my computer for two days tops. The wireless works on the other computers in the house, just not mine. I've checked all of the wireless settings to make sure they match correctly to the network .
Recently during the power failure my PC shut down abruptly since since then it is not connecting to the network. I have a cable broadband internet, I am using Ethernet wired connection, Intel PRO/100 VE. The Ethernet jack is good as I have confirmed using my laptop. The network connection gets stuck in acquiring network address state. I tried restoring the system to earlier date but it fails to restore. I installed new Intel drives, deleted ethernet adapter from device manager, reinstalled TCP/IP but no luck.. I am using XP SP3 on P4 machine,
The Setup On my home network, I am running Windows Server 2003 as domain controller and file server with a SCSi attached disk array.I have several client PC's. 2 running Windows XP service pack 3, 1 laptop running Windows 7 Service pack 1 and a desktop also running Windows 7 Service Pack 1.These are connected by 2 switches - 1 x Netgear gigabit switch, and a Linksys PSUS4 USB Print server at 100mbps.The PC I use the most is the desktop running Win7 and transfer files to the server.After transferring some large files from the clients to the server, I noticed that the speed was considerably slower than what I was expecting it to be. After investigating, and eliminating elements of the network, I discovered that the Server NIC was running at 10mbps. I tried the usual things like forcing the NIC to run at 100mbps Full Duplex but this had no effect. Strangely, if I reboot the server while the desktop is still switched on the connection goes back to 100mbps. However if I reboot the desktop, or even alter the network settings, it immediatley reverts back to 10mbps.
I was connected on wifi and all of a sudden I got disconnected and hasn't been able to connect since. This happened Sunday night and it's now Thursday. I got stuck on acquiring network address. I've been using the same wifi connection for about 7 months now and this never happened before.
All the other laptops at home (Mac and XP) could connect except me. I tried to google over my phone but still wasn't able to fix it.

My Dell was running very slow, so I used the disks that came with the computer to reinstall Windows XP. After doing this, it wasn't detecting our wireless network. I went through on the drivers disk and installed the drivers in order according to Dell's specifications. It still wouldn't work, so I went to the dell website from another computer, and downloaded the drivers that pertained to the network. Now it is recognizing the network, I was able to enter my key, but it won't stop "acquiring network address". When I do the ipconfig /all, it looks like there is no IP address:

I was working as IT Support in an encoding company. I support over 500 desktop users. my problem is about in entire network because i always encounter hang network in my grave yard shift. Our network system set up have domain server, antivirus server, database server, 4 PC's use as backup servers and 3 unit of network attached storage and approximately 500 units of desktop use for production in encoding. I always experiencing network hanging then after all system will be freeze, so i suggest to shutdown all pc for usually in 5mins then turn on again. In an hour the problem is still exist again and again. I did all possible way to make the production smooth run for my whole shift but still after some hours it occurs again. I dont know what would be the possible reason why the network hangs and stuck up. The network attached storage did not reach the entire capacity, the antivirus server is still updated, the domain and database server are working properly even the PC's use as backup server. There is no internet connection we use in production, so i assure that no virus we encounter in all pc. Is it the cabling? or is it the switches?
My computer was recently cured of a damaged processor and a viral infestation, and it seems to be working properly again, however,I've been unable to connect to my network because the connection gets stuck on "acquiring network address".I am running Windows XP service pack 3 and the network device that isn't connecting is a Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC.
I'm thinking of purchasing a Cisco Linksys EA6500. I need a router that can one monitor bandwidth used by device. Keep exceeding our ISP's network bandwidth allocation, need to identify the devices that are causing this high usage and be able to do so from the router. Does the EA6500's standard software support this, is their router software one can obtain for the unit that does this or is there another home router option that can perform this function?
I connect to the internet using a wireless USB. I woke up this morning and the internet showed that it was connected yet it wouldn't allow me to open the web or anything such as "msngr" I took the wireless card out for a couple minutes and then tried. That didnt do anything but say acquiring network address. I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers but these are the things that I have tried so far :
I went into properties and configure USB . . Made sure that the SSID said "Any" I Also tried going into properties and tcp/IP internet protocol and made sure it was on obtain IP address automatically . Hmm I tried. RUN>SERVICES> to make sure that the DHCP and TCP were started and on Automatic. I then tried system restore :- (went back about 2 weeks) . . Nothing. I then tried RUN>CMD>IPCONFIG/RELEASE *ENTER* IPCONFIG/RENEW *ENTER*.
when I did that it showed wireless network is now connected, yet back to ground zero. It wont let me browse. Its not really connected. When I look at the connection status, signal strenghth is good. Packets sent & received are good. I feel like there is just something little that. I am not getting, that is making this happen.
I recently installed a new RV120W router at one of my customer's office. I have 2 users connecting using the Quick VPN software.The first one is running on a Windows XP Pro SP3. Everything works great on this PC.The second PC is running on a Windows Vista - The QUICKVPN client stays at Veryfing Network and Eventually I get an error " The remote gateway is not responding. Do you want to wait?I have disabled Firewall on both PCS for troubleshooting purposes.
What the problem that whenever I try to connect to the internet it will forever say "identifying" and never get internet access. It is the same problem with both wireless connections and when I have an Ethernet cable plugged in. I'm sure its not the internet that's the problem because I am using the same connection right now but with a different laptop.
ok so the problem is our old modem/router combo finally died after 6 years of doing good. After that we bought a new router and used an old modem, that seemed to work for about 2 weeks problem free. But after that the internet would just drop when someone would play a online game, stream a big video, or after a random amount of time would drop on its own. The connection icon would loose its globe and have two screens with each screen flashing say identifying. after that we got a new modem and still have the same problem. We have two laptops connected to it and they can connect to the router but not the internet as-well.
I'm a network admin for a medium-sized (500-700 people) multi-site business and I have a simple question. Is there any utility or method I can use to identify the physical path a packet of data takes from a workstation on the LAN to a server on the same LAN?
For example, if I send a tracert command at google.com, I can see every router the packet touches before it gets to Google's router. Is there a method I can use to determine a similar path with switches in my internal network? If I use tracert or pathping, I only get a single hop since the workstations are on the same LAN as the servers even though I know there are two physical switches between them.
Basically, I want to send packets from a group of workstations behind a couple switches to a server and see if the packets are being lost in the switch somewhere to identify if there is a failing switch or something causing network slowdowns. map out the network more accurately so it would be useful to know.

Basically, the 3g port is absolutely not working in both devices.I've tried with 4 usb 3g adapter (all huawei and listed under compatible), THEN i bought a MA180 (yes, the TP-LINK 3g usb stick) and even this is not working.The MR3040 if i connect the MA180 simply will blink the MR3040 3g led ONCE, after that it simply does nothing.if i go under the status page on 192.168.0.1 it basically says:"3g usb: Identifying.." and it still stops there for even an hour.Same on the MR3020.
