How do I fix? Ethernet cable connected to my laptop says "limited or no connectivity"

Answer 1

The easiest thing to do is to switch off your PC, restart the router/modem (turn it off and wait 60 seconds) and the restart your PC. Your PC should then be able to connect.

Answer 2

right click on the icon then click repair.  if that dosnt work it means your router isnt handing out ip address and try a restart of that.  

Answer 3

Just take the ethernet wire out of connector and plugin again. If problem still persists, assign an IP address to the lan connection. Still if the problem persists, then really there is no connectivity.

Answer 4

Try repairing the connection, if that doesn't work, if you have a router, try resetting the router, if you don't have a router, then try resetting your modem

Ignore.

Answer 6

Check the LAN connection Properties to make sure the TCP/IP properties are set to acquire the IP and DNS server addresses automatically.
