HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wired Home Networks (Windows 10)

This document is for HP and Compaq PCs with Windows 10 using a wired local area network (LAN).

Use the steps in this document to troubleshoot wired home network issues in Windows 10. Test the network connection after performing each step. If the problem is not fixed, continue to the next step.

Step 1: Completing the network connection checklist

Use the following checklist to solve many problems with home networks in Windows 10:

Check all of the network cables and wires. A loose or disconnected cable or wire prevents a network connection and Internet access. Check the following connections:
- Network cable from the modem to the network hub (or router).
- Network cable from the network hub to the RJ-45 network port on the computer.
- Network cable between two computers.
Check the lights on the network hub. The lights can often show the location of a connection problem.
If you are trying to connect to another computer on the network, make sure that computer is turned on.
Check the firewall settings on all the computers on the network. The firewall settings may be preventing network access.

After performing the items in the checklist, try to connect to the network.

If you do not experience further problems with the network, you are done.
If you are still experiencing problems with the network, check the network status.

Step 2: Checking the network status in the Network and Sharing Center

Use the following steps to open the Network and Sharing Center to check the network status in Windows 10.

Type view network status in the search box on the taskbar, then select View network status and tasks from the search results.
Check the View your active networks section at the top of the page. If the computer is not connected to a network, a You are currently not connected to any networks message displays.
If you are not connected to a network, perform the steps in the network connection checklist to check the cables and hardware.
If still not connected to a network, click Set up a new connection or network, then click Connect to the Internet.
Click Broadband (PPPoE).
Enter the User name and Password for the network connection, give the connection a name, and then click Connect.

If you do not experience further problems with the network, you are done.

If you are still experiencing problems with the network, enable network discovery and file sharing.

Step 3: Setting advanced sharing options

Windows 10 enables you to set up network discovery and file sharing across the network. Enabling network discovery and file sharing sometimes fixes network problems. Follow these steps to set the advanced sharing options and turn on network discovery in Windows 10:

Type view network status in the search box on the taskbar, then select View network status and tasks from the search results.
Click Change advanced sharing settings.
Select Turn on network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing.
Click Save changes.

Step 4: Using Windows 10 diagnostic and troubleshooting tools

Windows 10 includes a network diagnostic tool and a network troubleshooter. Both tools help to identify network problems and provide possible solutions.

Running Windows Network Diagnostics

Windows 10 monitors the network and Internet connections. If it detects a problem, Windows displays a message, and prompts you for permission to diagnose the problem. Click OK to allow Windows to diagnose the problem and restore the connection.

Type view network status in the search box on the taskbar, then select View network status and tasks from the search results.
Click Troubleshoot problems.

The Network and Internet Troubleshooter opens.
Click the item that matches the problem you are experiencing.
Click Next, then follow the instructions to check for problems.
- If you do not experience further problems with the network after running the network diagnostic tool and the network troubleshooter, you are done.
- If you are still experiencing problems with the network, reinstall the network adapter software.

Step 5: Reinstalling the network adapter software in Device Manager

Network problems might be caused by an issue with the network adapter. Follow these steps to reinstall the network adapter in Windows 10 Device Manager:

Type device manager in the search box on the taskbar, then select Device Manager from the search results.

Microsoft System Restore uses automatically-saved information to restore your computer to a certain point in time. Using Microsoft System Restore can restore your computer to a time when the Internet connection was working properly. For more information, refer to Using Microsoft System Restore.

When you have restored your computer, try connecting to the Internet again. If you do not experience further problems with the network, you are done.
