Can you paste in the output of ipconfig /all from a command prompt?

[PyEldar]

Of course .... i do not know if letters like "ř" or "í" can cause the problem but i saw them in the names of adapters in ipconfig /all output ...... and i saw asterisk(*) there too ...... but I do not think it could be so simple

Here is the output:
