Hi, I'm unable to get a public IPv4 address and need this for routing purposes to get access to cloud provider.

For example, when I got to Whats My IP Address - IP Address, Whois & IP Tracing, it only shows me an IPv6 address.

It also shows "My Public IPv4:Not Detected"....and I've tried multiple websites showing pullic ips -- all show the same results.


So it looks like DHCP is not doing its job for ipv4 but is working just fine for IPv6. Don't understand that.


When I try "ipconfig /release" or "ipconfig /renew", the output leads with these weird errors:

No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 6 while it has its media disconnected.

No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 10 while it has its media disconnected.


This is weird to me because my "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:" (see below) is up and kicking and providing healthy internet, other than the fact I'm not getting an ipv4 address. I would like to try to delete these "Media Disconnected" connections. Does anyone know how to do this?



I've deleted all my adapters in device manager and rebooted, then reconnected to my wifi access point.....still no public ip.

I've also updated the network drivers for my wireless card, still no public ip.




Thank you in advance for any help you can provide, see my ipconfig /all output below.
