Hello,
I have a problem with my network. I have a new Asus Maximus VII Hero and Im getting this error in Network Diagnostics "Local Area Connection" doesnt have a valid IP configuration.
On my other computers connected with wi-fi internet works fine, but the main computer connected with ethernet cable is having this problem. I tried to call my internet provider and he said that Im not getting the IP adress from modem to motherboard. I reinstalled the drivers but the problem is still there.
I found a temporary solution here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZU6g38w1Qc
but my internet provider said I should use the option Obtain an IP adress automaticly.
And with this setting, my internet connection isnt stable and I dont have IPv6 Connection.

Can somebody help me? Im desperate. Dont now, what else I can do. I tried to find it on internet, but no solution for me. I dont have installed Bonjour DNS Responder Service.
And sorry for my english, I hope I described it correctly.

First ensure you have the newest correct drivers

You could try googling the command prompt commands for IP address, something like

Ipconfig release and renew

As far as ipv6 I wouldn't worry about unless you need it, I have a formula vi board and enabling ipv6 causes blue screen after blue screen after blue screen for no reason except it says ipv6 tunneling psudeo crashed, disable it and my board runs 100% flawless

The valid ip configuration issue is due to the inability of the NIC to get valid IP Address. Press Win + X and type hdwwiz.cpl. After that go to network adapters and note down the name of your Network adapter. Now unistall the network adapter by right clicking on the ethernet card. After this goto action and click on Scan for hardware changes.After the driver is reinstalled your problem is solved and if not then the name of the driver that you had noted down needs to be downloaded and insatlalled. https://appuals.com/ethernet-doesnt-have-a-valid-ip-configuration/

It would help if we knew your network configuration. You state that you are connected directly to the modem yet have devices on Wi-Fi. Is it a modem/router and if so is dhcp enabled in the settings? As for IPv6 if your modem has been provisioned by your ISP for IPv6 your router should also have IPv6 enabled in order for clients to receive IPv6 addresses.

Did we try a different cable? Another port on the router/modem?

What do you get when you do an IPConfig in command prompt when this happens? I'd like to see the screenshot of that.

I'm assuming you have a modem/router in one setup? Or?

IPV6 isn't a major concern as it's barely utilized yet. You not getting an IPv4 address is a concern via DHCP. You may also want to try simply rebooting your modem/router as well and trying again.

If you have some other software that has anything to do with your network config like gamefirst uninstall it.
IPV6 is of no concern. I actually have mine disabled.
If its not stable assigning a static IP it goes deeper than simple DHCP assignment.
This screams of hardware issues be it the MOBO or the router or cable.
