I live in uni accommodation and the glide wifi has been really slow for some reason so I thought I’d buy an ethernet cable and connect via that. So far I’ve plugged it into the ethernet port under my desk but had still had no internet connection.
After troubleshooting it says “‘Ethernet 3’ doesn’t have a valid IP configuration”.
This is my first time trying to use an ethernet connection so I don’t know what to do next. I’ve tried restarting my laptop but nothing changed, does anyone know what I should do next? (windows 10)
the admin might have to be supplied with your MAC address to assign you an IP
This. OP should contact the helpdesk.
Is the cable even go to your router? Go to it and conenct the laptop directly to it
Try opening command prompt and running ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew also try using a different ethernet cable if you can.
