Cannot Renew IP Address - Limited Or No Connectivity
Aug 22, 2011
Since last week, I have not been able to connect to the internet. I have had some trouble with this in the past when booting up, but usually I can manually select our wireless network on my own and it works fine. But since last week, I have not been able to connect at all. On the Wireless Connection Status, it showed Limited or No connectivity. I tried the repair button in the Wireless Network Connection Status Support tab, and that told me that I cannot connect because I could not renew my IP address.
Problem connecting to my girlfriends internet connection, just tried connecting for the first time and came across this limited or no connectivity message, using the cmd/renew IP address method did nothing and have no errors regarding any network adapters under the device manager.After doing the IPCONFIG /all function I get the following:
Windows IP configuration:
----Host name-----------: Steven-2720dfbd (This is my home host name so should have changed?) ---Primary Dns suffix-----: ---Mode Type------------: Unknown ---IP Routing Enabled----: No ---WINS Proxy Enabled---: No
I have two computers - one that is a newer mac with no problems getting on to the wireless home network (from which I'm posting). The other is an older Dell desktop running XP and using a wireless card. I'm trying to setup the desktop on a new network (has worked on other home networks in the past) and I keep getting the "Limited or No Connectivity" and the network repair fails because it can't renew the IP address. In the IP config, I'm getting the default 169.254.x.y.
I use this computer at work and at home on wireless network. At work it has been fine but at home I sometimes get the "Limited or no conectivity" message. I have not tried any solutions yet as it usually goes away if I reboot and if that does not do it taking it to work (where it works FINE) and then back home ususlly fixes the problem. Last night I was able to go online and google something but when I clicked on a link it did nothing for several minutes and THEN told me I had 'Limited or no conectivity' where just a few minutes before I was 'connected' signal strength 'excellent'. When I click on 'repair connection' it tells me it can not renew IP address.As stated I have not tried anything, changed anything, and there is no one else using computers on the network
Laptop suddenly not connecting to Internet. Have tried clicking repair but no luck. Totally lost now - just keeps saying unable to IP address. Wireless network connection msg says limited or no connectivity... IP address says 169.254.98.210- nothing under default gateway.
So I have decided to register here and see where that gets meWhen I try to repair my wireless network connection, it gives me the error: "Unable to renew your IP address" accompanied by a little bubble that says something about limited or no connectivity. Other computers are working fine, so I doubt it's the modem.If I try to go into the cmd and type in "ipconfig/release" it says that it's already been released. Then when I type in "ipconfig/renew" it takes a while, but tells me something along the lines of "unable to connect to your DHCP server."I've tried the winsock fix and that hasn't done me any good. I've also tried: netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset reset.log, and netsh winsock reset catalog. All useless.[CODE]
I have reinstalled XP on an older PC and have run Driver Reboot to check all the drivers are ok. So far so good, except - I cannot get onto the internet.... router etc is working... have reinstalled the nvidia nforce networking controller (as this kept coming up with errors). When trying to connect, error message is: limited or no connectivity.
I connect to the internet using a wireless USB. I woke up this morning and the internet showed that it was connected yet it wouldn't allow me to open the web or anything such as "msngr" I took the wireless card out for a couple minutes and then tried. That didnt do anything but say acquiring network address. I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers but these are the things that I have tried so far :
I went into properties and configure USB . . Made sure that the SSID said "Any" I Also tried going into properties and tcp/IP internet protocol and made sure it was on obtain IP address automatically . Hmm I tried. RUN>SERVICES> to make sure that the DHCP and TCP were started and on Automatic. I then tried system restore :- (went back about 2 weeks) . . Nothing. I then tried RUN>CMD>IPCONFIG/RELEASE *ENTER* IPCONFIG/RENEW *ENTER*.
when I did that it showed wireless network is now connected, yet back to ground zero. It wont let me browse. Its not really connected. When I look at the connection status, signal strenghth is good. Packets sent & received are good. I feel like there is just something little that. I am not getting, that is making this happen.
I have just moved my desktop to another house and now I cannot access the Internet. I have a USB adapter which has connected to the hub and has an excellent connection but it keeps trying to aquire network address. Then stops and starts again.
I lost connection for a moment on my computer last Sunday, it connects with a very strong signal but doesn't renew the IP address. I tried Run>cmd>/release>/renew and got a message saying something like "Cannot contact your DHCP server" (something like that anyways)
i'm running xp sp3, but it is not completely updated. (i was offline for about 8 months and missed tons of updates, still slowly getting things up to date but not there yet.) i install new programs all the time, but none that seem to coincide with this particular problem.
starting a few days ago, my internet randomly goes out. when i try to "repair" my connection through network connections, it says windows cannot renew the ip address. going to command prompt and trying ipconfig/release or ipconfig/renew gives a message about RPC not available. however, a simple reboot fixes everything. for a few hours or so.
i haven't been able to pinpoint exactly when the problem occurs. i often leave utorrent and peerblock running when i go to work - no other programs running - this is what first alerted me to the problem, coming home to find that at some point my internet went down and downloads didn't finish. just this evening i was surfing the web, watching youtube videos, when suddenly my connection went out. this time, only firefox was running, so not a problem with utorrent or peerblock. something else is causing the problem.
I can connect wired but not wirelessly. I get limited or no connectivity. When I try to repair I get the message "cannot connect to dhcp server. request has timed out"
I'm trying to go wireless with a desktop PC running Windows XP SP2. I've got a 2WIRE router which works fine when plugged into the computer via an ethernet cable. I purchased a Netgear N300 Wireless USB adapter and installed it - it seems to be working fine.
The trouble is that my wireless connection shows "limited or no connectivity," although the signal strength is "very good." When I try to repair the connection, it tells me that I could not be assigned an IP address.
At the moment I'm working via the Ethernet cable with no difficulty. why the wired connection works but the wireless (from the same router) doesn't, even though it should?
I wanted to connect to the Internet but my laptop has this message: " Your IP address lease has expired. DHCP was unable to renew your lease." I cannot connect to the Internet. What should I do?
I have not been able to connect to the wireless connection. I have had some trouble with this in the past when booting up, but usually I can manually select our wireless network on my own and it works fine. But since last week, I have not been able to connect at all. On the Wireless Connection Status, it showed Limited or No connectivity. I tried the repair button in the Wireless Network Connection Status Support tab, and that told me that I cannot connect because I could not renew my IP address.I have tried a few different things, such as doing an ipconfig /release and /renew. Schools coming up, and itd be nice to have internet access on the laptop as well as our desktop.
I purchased this pocket wifi last year and I use it with my iPad and used to use it with my current LAPTOP. It still connects to the iPad, but will not connect to the Laptop anymore, the laptop says it cannot renew IP address.
My computer stopped connecting a few days ago. It had been working great until then. I have two other computers in the same wireless environment and they are working great. I've done all the preliminary checks and had all the settings checked by Comcast (my internet provider) but they were not able to evaluate the problem without cost. I've been unemployed for the last two years so I need to find another option to correct this issue. Every time I attempt to connect, windows says that they are unable to renew the IP address. Limited or no connectivity is shown. I've also noticed that If I leave the home where I'm trying to connect, I'm able to connect to outside sources like Wayport or any other network without any problem. My router is a Linksys Model #WRT320N. It's working just fine with the other computers in the house. I tried cleaning out all my "preferred networks" in the wireless Network Connection Properties but that didn't work either.
My Dell laptop will no longer connect to the internet and the issue I'm receiving is:
"Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following could not be completed: Renewing your IP Address"
I've run multiple scans on the computer with 3 different programs so have determined it does not appear to be any sort of malware issue but either a windows issue or hardware issue? When this first occurred I performed all the usual steps for repairing the connection, rebooting the router/modem, running IP config to make sure it was even showing up, direct connecting to the router, malware scans, removing dead networks from the auto-connect list, checking TCP/IP properties, checking ipconfig, looking at router settings to make sure nothing is turned off, all to no avail.
I don't know if I missed anything in the areas I looked at, or if I am just looking in all the wrong places. The computer is a Dell Inspiron E1705 with XP Media Center Edition version 2002, Service Pack 3.
I randomly lost Internet connection, and since have not been able to Renew an IP address! Other people in my household can connect just fine. I've tried numerous things to get my internet back, but continue to be unsuccessful in doing so.

I'm visiting family and my laptop will not connect to their wireless. I plugged it in and it connected, but wireless will not. I've tried to renew my ip but it tells me media is disconnected. How do I connect the media? I'm in the device mgr now, looking at network adapters. have yellow !! on Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #5. I opened it and there is no "value" for Network address. I've got Acer Aspire 5520, w/SP2, 2.00GB, 32-bit,AMD Turion 64 X2 1.80 GHz. Windows Vista Home Premium. message rec'd is "No operation can be performed on wireless network connection while it has its media disconnected."
I'm using a 2wire 2701HG-B wireless router/dsl modem combo. My computer is a Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. The router/modem has been reliable for the last 2 years.. hardly ever needing a reset, reboot, or anything. Then all of a sudden my wifi network didn't show up anymore. I did a reboot, nothing. Kind of weird so I got on the phone with AT&T and they walked me through some simple stuff and they determined it's either the router or my computer. Well I know it's not the computer, I can use the mobile hotspot on my android phone and it gets on just fine.All of the lights on the router are green, AT&T showed that all the tests show the internet connection is working. Since the router is not sending out a wifi signal anymore, I had to plug the ethernet cable in. The system recognizes a connection but says it isn't connected because it is a "public" connection. Additionally, if I go to network connections with the cable plugged in, I can see my DirecTV DVR is showing on the network (because it is connected to the router via ethernet too). So it isn't broadcasting wifi, I can see my DVR over the network in windows, but I can't get the IP renewed.
When I try to do an ipconfig /renew, it says this:Windows IP Configuration An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : The operation was canceled by the user.An error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : The system cannot find the file specified.The AT&T rep said I may need a new modem and router. It seems weird because it worked fine one night, then the next night all of a sudden it didn't work.
After an indeterminate period my E4200 (firmware version 1.0.03) stops renewing the Internet IP address. This happens in both router mode and bridge mode.In router mode the E4200 is set for DHCP and connected to the cable modem, in bridge mode it is connected to a Dell switch with DHCP being provided by my Win2008R2 server.It appears that the device stops recognizing the existence of the Internet port - no lights come on when a cable is plugged in - whether connected to the cable modem or my Dell switch. Plugging the same cable into one of the 4 lan ports and that port lights up immediately (i.e. it is not a patch cable problem).If the E4200 is left switched off for some time (possibly days) it will work properly again for a while.
I have been having some gripes with the above problem for the past few days, connecting several PCs in my office into a network. To cut a long story short, it's a bunch of XP SP2 and SP3 machines with only some of them having these issues. The network consists of two switches and one router with integrated modem and wireless. Internet access is established over that router/ ADSL modem.I have drawn out all the cabling and made all the connections myself, I don't doubt network related hardware one bit. Basically, I had the problem on two PCs, I tested connectivity on that cable with a laptop which didn't have any problems connecting to the network. All the cables are brand new, "straight" connectedC
i did this and the sign of unable to connect went away, restarted back to it, did it again and it goes away but still no connection. TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.
my internet is not working on my PC (XP) however the wifi in my house is still on (i can use laptop with functioning internet). The internet status say's "limited or no connectivity" and shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
I manage a small office network IP's are generated via a rooter. I need to add a new pc to the network and here is where the problem starts.I have a cable from a HUB in that office which has a splitter 1 way goes to a PC the other is empty. At first i tried connecting the other PC from that splitter but i get the Limited or no Connectivity message on both PCs. If i connect only one of them to the splitter the connection works fine.Now i tried with a HUB, made a Crossover cable from the splitter to the HUB in the WAN port, same deal both PCs get Limited ot no Connectivity. THe strange thing is that if i connect only one via the HUB the same thing happens.I am really out of ideas, my only option left is to connect the PC from the main HUB which means allot of cable posing.
When using an Ethernet cord, I have no problems connecting to the internet. Also, my iPhone and my Wii have no problems connecting (wirelessly). However, I can't get any laptops to connect to my wireless. I have tried three different laptops and get the same problem, that it can connect to the network but limited or no connectivity.
I have a spare computer I build. Its a FX-60 on some old asus 939 motherboard. I installed xp in it because I don't have any wireless network adapters that work with linux or Windows 7.I am using an old Linksys WUSB11 Ver 2.6. USB adapter.The computer does have connectivity if I plug in an ethernet cord from the router. Worked fine, fast, was able to install Sp3, etc.I can't get the wireless to work. I get excellent connection strength, but can't actually do anything with it.Since this is XP and I haven't messed around with XP network settings for years, I think I got a bit rusty and spoiled with Windows 7.
used to use Ethernet connection on this pc for 2/3 years, i recently ran wireless for like 2months. every time i try and use Ethernet i get limited or no connectivity warning, I looked in my ipconfig, i notice theres no physical address or default gateway for my realtek rtl8139/810x family fast Ethernet.
I got the urge to play a Windows game, so I used my restore disks to install XP on my Acer Aspire One A150. Unfortunately, my wireless card does not work anymore (?). I am dual-booting with Ubuntu 10.10 at the moment and my wireless card works there with no problem.I get a Limited or No Connectivity error every time.I'm connected to a router, which I have reset and works okay in Linux. I am connected currently using a USB D-Link N-Adapter, however, despite being "N" is considerably slower and inconvenient.
I just installed a new NIC after troubleshooting old NIC and I am still receiving limited or no connectivity error. I checked router, cable modem & cable; all work fine.
I got this message and I went up to the " Start-Run_CMD-IPCONFIG and this is what I got Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection Media State....... Media Disconnected,Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection
