media disconnected with DNS_PROBE

0

I am getting a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET in windows 7. In Ubuntu 14.04, it just says I have no internet.

I tried to use the ipconfig commands found on google,but most of them wouldn't work because:

No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection 2 whiles it has its media disconnected.

What I have done:

  1. I have checked via the device manager that my network drivers are up to date.
  2. System restore.
  3. I tried ping -t 4.2.2.2 but it failed!

What should I do please?

Note that the rooter is fine, since I am connecting to the internet via another computer.

EDIT:

Is your wireless card disabled/turned off?

Could be, but I am not sure. In the Device Manager I can see this option: Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter (which is up to date). Moreover, when googling for hours before posting here, I saw another guy reporting this as his card.

However, I do have in Other devices an unknown device, for which I failed to find any information.

I also did a windows trobleshooting and the problem found is: "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

Are you sure you have connected to your router on this computer? Check your network settings in control panel – MyNameWouldGoHere – 2015-08-28T21:40:49.720

@DavidPostill I am not sure, please check my edit. I had tried he commands you are saying, they did not help. – gsamaras – 2015-08-28T23:41:54.357

After sacrificing a Google Chrome, the 2nd half of a date with a latin dancer and all night long on googling, I finally solved it by:

  1. Powering off once the rooter and then powering it on once.

  2. Typed cmd in the search of the start menu and hit ctrl+shift+enter (so that I run as admin) and then I entered the usual commands:

    ipconfig /release

    ipconfig /all

    ipconfig /renew

    ipconfig /flushdns

    netsh winsock reset all

and then I saw an Adobe notification for an available update..First time an update touched me so much!

Thanks all.
