Help! Can't connect to my home's internet after using Hamachi + restarting computer
6 replies, posted
The title pretty much explains it all. I've tried reverting windows update that I rolled in before the restart. I've uninstalled Hamachi, reinstalled it, tinkered with settings. I've tried absolutely everything I can possibly think of to fix this problem and every solution I could find online. Nothing is working.
Currently I've been tethering my phone to my computer to get access, since all other devices in the house are fine. I just don't want to be stuck tethering my phone everytime I'm online, as I already had one issue with the cord falling out during a co-op game and nearly disconnecting.
I should also add that I have ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless Adapter in my desktop, which I also reinstalled the software on. Still no luck.
In device manager do you see another network device associated with hamachi? Can you uninstall/disable that?
Ive had just about the worst experiences with wireless adapters from them just not even working out of the box to eventually just not connecting for any reason. I would check and see if that adapter is even working correctly. DahTehMan is right hamachi could be trying to use its own network and it disabled your actual internet network. Hamachi is a bitch sometimes especially back in the days of Private WoW servers.

Sorry for a late reply, been busy with overnight 12 hour shifts and it's tough to get on with at-home stuff after dealing with them.
In Device Manager I have 3 items:
ASUS PCE-N15 11n Wireless LAN PCE-I Card
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
I don't see anything related to Hamachi.
What network interfaces do you see when you show hidden devices in Device Manager ([URL]https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553955(v=vs.85).aspx[/URL])?
It could be your router is attempting to assign your machine an IP address that is already assigned to an existing but "disconnected" network device. In which case, Windows won't allow the IP address.
Is the DHCP service running? Can you set a static IP address and have it connect?
You could try resetting the TCP/IP stack ([URL]http://www.windows-secrets.co.uk/2013/08/repair-the-windows-87vista-tcpip-stack/[/URL]).
I've looked through hidden devices and found nothing that stuck out to me, I'll post a screenshot if requested.
I reset the TCP/IP stack with no successful results
I'm seriously considering reformatting the harddrive as it is fairly new in it's self and it would likely be less hassle than dabbling around trying to figure out this nightmarish problem. I've never encountered a problem so mysterious and illusive, at least nothing that I was unable to figure out in a day or so.
