I started my computer today without being able to connect to the internet for some very odd reason. As the title says, that is the name of problem that Network and Sharing Center says on Win7.
It is weird though, because every time I troubleshoot the problem it cycles through two answers. One time it will be the name of the problem above, and the next time it will say that my perfectly fine Ethernet cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken. It also showed a 3rd problem, saying my Realteak PCIe GBE Family Controller (gigabyte Ethernet card) was bad so I reinstalled that and the error went away but not the problem.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit and connecting to the internet through a Ethernet cable obviously. My Linksys router is fine, and I'm using another computer in the house to type up this problem here.
