FIX Local Area Connection Doesn’t Have a Valid IP Configuration in Windows 11/10
The "Local Area Connection Doesn’t Have a Valid IP Configuration" error in Windows 10 usually indicates that the computer's network adapter is not obtaining a valid IP address from the DHCP server, which prevents it from connecting to the network. Here are the common causes and explanations for this error:
1. Issues with DHCP
DHCP Server Problems: The DHCP server on your router or modem may be malfunctioning or not assigning IP addresses correctly.
DHCP Client Issues: The DHCP client service on your Windows 10 PC may be disabled or not functioning properly.
2. Incorrect Network Settings
Static IP Configuration: The network adapter may be set to use a static IP address that is not compatible with the network settings.
IP Address Conflict: Another device on the network may be using the same IP address, causing a conflict.
3. Router/Modem Issues
Router/Modem Glitches: Temporary glitches or firmware issues in the router or modem can interfere with IP address assignment.
Router/Modem Overload: Overloaded or overheated network hardware can cause network issues, including IP configuration problems.
4. Network Adapter Problems
Driver Issues: Outdated or corrupted network adapter drivers can prevent proper IP configuration.
Hardware Problems: The network adapter itself may be faulty or not properly connected.
5. Firewall or Security Software Interference
Firewall Restrictions: Overly restrictive firewall settings can block network traffic, preventing proper IP configuration.
Antivirus/Security Software: Some antivirus or security software can interfere with network connections.
