How to fix network limited connectivity in Windows 7


Recently my colleague was asking me because he has some network problem. His desktop PC network status shows limited connectivity. So I checked the network cable, ethernet switches and DHCP server, everything seems working fine. I disabled and enabled the network adapter a couple of times and the problem still exist.

Our IT personnel takeover to fix and he solve the problem and this is how he do it.

Installation duration will depend on the PC performance but I will not take too long. Cheers!
