My laptop is not able to identify network via ethernet cable.

It does detect a cable is connected right?

Can you check if DHCP is on on your laptop?

CMD > IPconfig /all

 

if it does then you can try in CMD

IPconfig /release

IPconfig /renew

 

and see if that helps

So your laptop is not using DHCP?

Also on what kind of device are you connecting your laptop, is it on a router or a switch and if so, what kind?

 

You can try tes set DHCP on Manually:

 

Open ‘Control Panel’, ( windows key and type control panel)  type ‘Network and Sharing Center’ in the search box of the panel and hit Enter key.

Click ‘Change Adapter Settings’ link visible under ‘Network and Sharing Center’ screen. right-click the Ethernet connection option and select ‘Properties’. 

DHCP

Next, under Ethernet/Wi-Fi Properties window, find and double-click the ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’ item as shown in the screenshot below.

DHCP is not Enabled Enable DHCP

When done, Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties box will pop up. To turn DHCP on, simply check the radio boxes seen against-

  1. Obtain an IP address automatically – upper part of ‘General Screen.’
  2. Obtain DNS server address automatically – lower part of the ‘General Screen.’

Windows 10 will now be able to retrieve the IP address from the DHCP server. To disable the same, uncheck these options.
