1, Did it get any IP address(assuming you have DHCP)?

2, Were you able to ping websites/ just plain IPs?

As per this Windows requests http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt or www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt and does a DNS lookup for dns.msftncsi.com, and then compares the result with the built-in values. Therefore you may need to whitelist these sites if you are blocking them via some firewall.

In case your network is ipv6 then the connectivity checking sites might be different.
