Ethernet Unidentified, Limited

On Clean Install even after installing Service Stack and Rollup, and now Downloading and Installing all the updates, I get "Ethernet Unidentified, Limited" I tried another port in my router but get the same thing. All my other computers work fine on it also. The cable is a known good one but I may try another soon after updates have come through. This one is long because of the placement of this computer, I'll try another asap. Don't think I've had this issue before. All looks good in Device Manager.
Luckily Wifi works.

Since you do have a way to get online (wifi), go to Windows Update and scan for new updates. If there is an "optional" update listed for your Ethernet adapter, install only that one update, then reboot.

I have found that the above method often fixes problems with the built-in Ethernet adapter.

Thanks Jim! I finally took a good look at all the available Ethernet Drivers on HP Page and installed the newest one and it worked. Usually I find Microsoft does a good job at Ethernet Drivers but not in this case, live and learn.

Thanks, Stealth

I'm glad you were able to fix it.

Me Too! This is a good forum Jim, really like the layout!
