I live in a college dorm room, and my internet stopped working about 2 days ago. My roommates don't have this problem. I don't know what kind of details to give you because I know nothing about this stuff.
Here's my ipconfig /all.
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : silvery-snow
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
[Code]......
I don't know how to copy / paste the ip config so I ss'd it:(url) internet provider is RCN, I have AVG and Malwarebytes installed, I've tried disabling them both and didn't fix it! Anyways my internet was working fine, until one day it just suddenly stopped working. We have multiple computers hooked up to the network (5) and all work except mine. This same problem happened to my sister's computer, she has almost the same model as mine. We fixed it by switching it to wireless, but I was wondering if there was any way around that. It's a HP Pavilion. The box thingie lights up green and everything. I can access the other computers through the network, it's just the internet that won't work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was changing the port forwarding configuration when suddenly the router stopped working, and now the "D-Link" light is constantly on, and the power light and the 4 LAN lights are flashing. Nothing worked, resetting, or unplug and plug again in a short time.
I disconnected it for 12 hours, and when I plugged in again, it kinda worked, and the settings where factory defaults, so when I tried to connect it to DSL via PPoE, when ( I believe ) it reboots to accept the changes, it starting flashing again and completely stopped working.
So I waited 12 hours more unplugged, plugged it and it worked, and the setting from 12 hours earlier were still there. But when trying to connect to the DSL it stopped working AGAIN.
Now I don't know what to do. I guess I am going to keep trying connecting with little differences, until something.
I believe it still has warranty but since the is no official service in Uruguay, it isn't economically viable to send it overseas.
I am currently connected directly to the DSL, sharing connection to other computers through a switch and hosting an ad-hoc wireless network, but the performance is terrible and the wireless range is minimal.
I cannot connect to the internet. After running troubleshooting i receive and error message."Local area connection 2" doesn't have a valid ip configuration.

When I try to connect to the Internet it says that I am connected but have no Internet access. When I use the troubleshooter it says wireless network configuration does not have a valid ip configuration. I also tried using the Ethernet cable but it still says no Internet access.

All of a sudden the internet stopped working so i reinstalled my ethernet driver and no internet still. So to make sure it wasn't the ethernet cord i plugged it into my xbox and xbox live came up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been happily using a desktop PC wired into a router (using an ethernet cable) as well as a laptop that connects wirelessly to the router. This setup has been working fine since I started with it a few weeks ago.
On Friday evening the desktop PC stopped being able to connect to the internet and hasn't been working since. The laptop is able to connect fine wirelessly.
The router light seems to indicate that the ethernet connection is ok. I've tried connecting wirelessly from the desktop PC but that doesn't work either - the Netgear wireless usb adaptor won't open from within Windows as it usually would do.
Nothing has changed to the hardware setup (I've checked all connections) so I wonder if this is a software problem caused by a virus or maybe by Windows updates?
The internet in my house stopped working. I can not access from my hardwired playstation, any wireless or hardwired laptop. It gives me an error code 105 for google chrome. DSN lookup failure. From my phone using wifi it says there is no internet connection.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP/Compaq laptop that is quite a few years old but has been working fine. It has stopped connecting to the internet although it will connect to my wireless network. The internet works and all other devices (my tablet, my phone, daughter's laptop, etc) all connect. The laptop started having troubles recently and would eventually connect to the internet if I rebooted a couple of times. However, I've been trying multiple times today and it still won't connect.I have Windows Vista and the repair function has not fixed it or diagnosed the error.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new Alienware X51 running Win 7. It's connected to a home LAN, both wired and wirelessly. For the prior two days internet connectivity has been fine. Today, the PC will not connect to the internet. The Network and Sharing center in control panel shows that the PC is connected to both the wireless network and the wired network, but with no internet connectivity. All other computers and devices in the house are able to connect to the internet. Tried restarts, virus scans, router power off/on, ipconfig /release and renew, all with no luck. When I try and ping other computers in the LAN or the router I get a "General Failure" message.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI got the computer in 09 with windows vista and the internet worked correctly. i upgraded to windows 7 in 2010 or 11 and the wireless was still working. Last year all of a sudden my wireless internet stopped working and had to use a cable to connect to my router. A few months went by and i randomly got my wireless internet connection back for about 2-3 months now all of a sudden my wireless is out again. i ran tests in other threads posted on this subject and the only way they got it to work was to buy a usb connection. is this the only way im going to be able to get wireless back?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old Gateway W322 laptop running Windows XP Home Edition and it recently stopped being able to connect to the internet. It happened gradually, at first having connection problems off and on for a few hours, and eventually it would no longer connect at all. I tried using an ethernet cable to the modem and that didn't work. I also know it's not my modem because I have other computers in my house and they are connecting just fine.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a samsung 365E5C-S02 Laptop running Windows 8. The internet worked just fine until yesterday when it stopped working. Now I can connect to the wireless network just fine but no internet. Several other computers work on the same wireless network. I ran the troubleshooting sequence at "control panel-> troubleshooting -> network and internet " but it didn't find anything.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI purchased an e4200 about 6 months ago and it worked great until the other night the Internet stopped working on my laptop (wireless). I tried unplugging both my modem (Motorola Surfboard) and router and plugging them back in, but no luck. I can accesss the Internet when plugged directly into the router (with both my PC and laptop), so it looks like the issue is with the e4200. To make matters worse (and I fear much worse), I can't even access the admin page to the router through either the Cisco Connect software or through the IP address. I've tried resetting it, I've tried the 30/30/30 reset (holding the reset button while doing an unplug and pluging back in), and reinstalling the Cisco Connect software, all to no avail.
I've found threads where others have not been able to access the admin page, but they still had access to the Internet url... I haven't found a similar thread where the router doesn't seem to work at all. A few other bits of information I can think of (let me know if there's other information I can provide):The Cisco logo light flashes slowly after reset which I believe is expected.The lights in back of the router seem to work as intended.Running Windows 7 Diagnostics finds the connection "doesn't have a valid IP configuration" and "The default gateway is not available."

Whenever I try to connect Windows XP with Windows 7 I get an error "Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration.I have tried a lot of tutorials and answers on different forums but could not get the answer.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a desktop off craigslist, it has been working fine for the past month, but I was about to start up a program and it froze. (was beginning to overheat, so it froze.) So no problem, I reset the computer and when I logged on, the internet had a fashionable yellow ! sign. So I diagnosed it and received the "Local Area Network does not have a valid IP configuration." Now every single computer, wired or not, can access the internet so it is specifically my desktop. I have done literally everything suggested in multiple forums, and nothing I do seems to work. I figure instead of listing everything I have done, I will just assume that I either did it wrong, or was given false information on how to do it, so in case one of those hold true I won't be stuck thinking something didn't work.
-Internet was working
-Computer froze
-Reset Computer
-Internet no longer working on my computer (does on other computers)
-Local Area Network does not have a valid IP configuration
I'm having trouble getting my laptop to connect to the Internet over wi-Fi. If I plug it directly into the router with a cable it works fine. I have 10 other things in my house that connect over wi-Fi just fine, my pc just won't connect.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI know this question seems to come out a lot but I can't seem to fix it. I am a college student and my internet has worked 100% fine until I went home this weekend and came back. It worked this weekend when I brought my computer home and when I came back today it gives me this error when I try to troubleshoot. The only thing that could have changed is when I went home I set my DNS to be openDNS because it makes a huge difference there, but I changed it back when I got here. I don't know if that would matter, but unplugging and restarting are doing nothing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having this problem on my acer intel core i3 laptop I think my Network adapter is corrupt I cannot connect to my Netgear(home) router anymore... I use to be able to troubleshoot/diagnose and fix the error but now it doesn't fix it anymore.Wireless works though...the problem only occurs when I plug a network cable into the NIC... I have tried other network cables and the router at work but it gives me the same error.things I have tried to fix NIC that did not work
cmd- iprelease/renew
changing things in the registry
changing mac address
updating netgear firmware
updating NIC driver
uninstalling the bonjour service
I have tried putting the ip address...dns in manually?i am running on windows 7?
the same thing happened to me Thursday as well. All the laptops and my friends computer(same exact build as my own.) had been able to connect to the internet via wireless/ethernet. However my computer does not. For quite a while it would say the address doesn't have a valid IP, now it thinks there is nothing wrong... I had wiped and reinstalled windows 4 times in a sorry attempt to fix the issue. Also, I had checked the driver for my internet and reinstalled the latest version several times. I've exhausted all the resourses I can think of
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using an ethernet cord to connect to my internet and it has been working well until Thursday morning when I turned on my laptop (Windows 8) to see a yellow triangle sign in the bottom right hand corner, in front of the ethernet connected symbol. Since then I haven't been able been able to access the internet from my computer. When I hover over it, it says that it is an "Unidentified network" and there is "No internet access". I've run the Windows 8 troubleshooting and it says that the problem found was ""Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration", but I'm unsure how to fix it.
I'm thinking that the problem is to do with my computer rather than my network, because I've tried another laptop (Windows 7) through the same ethernet cable and connection and the internet works fine on the other laptop. I've tried so many fixes that I've found online, with none of them actually working. Yesterday I even tried a full system reset, where I reinstalled Windows 8, repartitioned and wiped everything off the hard drive, but it still appears have the exact same problem.
Today I also purchased and tried a new ethernet cable which didn't work, so I then purchased a USB to Ethernet adapter, to make sure that it wasn't my ethernet port on my laptop that was faulty. That didn't work either, and the same problem still remains.
I have been having a lot of trouble getting my computer to connect to the internetIt is only one computer on the network that consistently has problems. It was working ok recently, except that I would have to turn the router off and back on fairly often, because the computer would say that the DNS lookup failed. Today it stopped working, and now says that the adapter does not have a valid ip configuration. I do not know what to do.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am having a similar problem as others with the "wireless network connection does not have valid IP configuration" explanation. I have a Dlink DIR-655 wireless router and everything was working fine for a very long time, but yesterday the wireless stopped working. After trying a couple of things and having the same problem I reset the router and now I cannot get the wireless to work. When I run the Windows 7 network troubleshooter it comes up with the "wireless network connection does not have valid IP configuration" explanation, but I cannot figure out how to remedy this problem. I foolishly did not save the previous router configuration before resetting the router[CODE]

I have been trying to "fix" this issue on my laptop for the past month, on and off. I have been using other sources to access the internet reading up on resolutions on this issue and all kinds of forums. I am knowledgeable, but not able to understand some of the fixes and terms that I have come across. I feel like I've tried everything and still I cannot access the internet on my PC wired or wireless.I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-GS5038. I tried to release & renew my ipconig.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm getting the problem: "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration Recently I had to recover my Asus G73J laptop with Windows 7 and now it's having trouble getting internet access once it connects to the router. I am renting a basement suite and don't have access to the router upstairs (don't know what brand it is because I've never seen it before and they're on vacation right now so I can't even ask them to reset it or do anything right now). They are with Shaw Cable.

Swapping ethernet cables
Connecting to router
connecting to modem
power cycling router/modem/computer
downloading new driver

Randomly today my internet cut out I tried resetting the modem/powering it down etc nothing worked. I then tried the windows network diagnosis and it resulted in this issue "local area connection 2" doesn't have a valid ip configuration. I'm also directly connected to my modem if it matters. I never had this issue today. This issue keeps randomly occuring. I have a modem/router combo

I recently hooked my computer back up after moving and the Internet is not working. After going through the troubleshooting steps it gives the message local area connection does not have valid ip configuration. I have a net gear router and the wifi works fine on my phone and laptop.
