If you have connected an Ethernet cable to your windows 11 PC or Laptop but have no internet access to your system, don’t worry today in this article I am going to explain how you can fix and solve this problem. You just have to follow the steps I am going to explain in the article.

First of all, right-click your start menu, and open settings as you can see in the image.

After opening the settings window you need to search for the troubleshooting option from the system menu. Click on troubleshoot options and then other troubleshooters as shown in the image below

Mostly they are using IPv4 addresses. Also, check if they are providing fixed IP addresses or automatic IP addresses.

If your internet service provider uses a fixed IP addressing scheme then it is important that you have all the information about your IP address like your IP address, subnet mask, your internet gateway, and your DNS information. So you can configure all settings for fixed IP addresses here by clicking on “use the following IP address“.
