Hi Murray,

 

thanks, but I had already tried that, doing a network reset either via the network settings or an "netsh int ip reset". After a restart it worked initially LAN but my WIFI still showed the globe, switching back resulted in the same issues.

 

I'm reinstalling 18932 now via iso and its all fine on a vanilla install, so installing the surface drivers now
