Can't regain LAN after using bridge network [OS WIN10]

Question

Friday, February 3, 2017 1:49 AM | 1 vote

Just to explore the option, I created bridge network between ethernet lan and wifi. I was/is working good. Now I want to remove it and regain my direct LAN connection. 

I removed the bridge connection. LAN became limited. 

I reboot the system, no luck. 

I personally uninstall all WAN miniports from device manager and reboot. The ports were back and no luck in LAN. 

I tried to fix it through windows diagnose system available in Ethernet Status dialogue box. It did fixing and enabled  DHCP, but again no luck.

I connected back the bridge network, system stared accessing internet. 

How to get back the direct LAN ?

OS   WIN10

LAN  institute's direct cable LAN broadband.

Trying resetting the network connections. Start > Settings > Network & internet, scroll down to the bottom right hand side and Reset network. Read the warning take note of anything you need to and reset. It will reboot afterwards reinstall the network card and drivers etc and hopefully be ok.

Thank you for your support.
But unfortunately that option is missing in my system. I am using Windows 10Pro automatically upgraded from Windows 7 during free up-gradation time.

Hi ,

To use network reset, your PC must be running Windows 10 Version 1607. To see what version of Windows 10 your device is currently running, select the Start button, then select Settings  > System > About. If you are not running 1607, you need upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1607, then try again. I suggest you refer to the following to troubleshoot it, hope it helps.

I know this was years ago but I had the same issue today and resetting my network settings was absolutely out of the question. Turns out the bridge messed up the network settings which can be fixed here:

Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings -> Right click the LAN adapter -> Properties

Make sure the IPv4 settings are set up properly (you probably want to set them to Obtain Automatically) but also check that the IPv4 checkbox is checked in the first place...! This took me a while to figure out, I was diagnosing what was wrong with my IPv4 settings only to find out that IPv4 was not even checked.
