Cannot Renew IP Address

[MK Shrimper]

IT people...

Totally stumped by this problem. My laptop will not connect to my wireless network and keeps telling me it "cannot renew IP Address". I know that my router & adaptor are OK as I tested it on my work laptop and Wii and they connected no problemo.

I've made sure that IP/DNS/WINS are obtained automatically followed every piece of advice I can find online, but nothing. Totally stumped.

Huge amount of green-ness and a pint at the BBQ if anyone can resolve the problem, though I think maybe formatting hdrive & reinstall may be the only way forward!

Cheers!

Have you tried the advice on here?

You sure you got the right drivers for your net adapter? What make is your laptop?

I'll have a go Andy ta. Dan, it's a Toshiba Sattelite. Piece of sh*t, but it used to connect as I download AVG and some other stuff.

run>cmd

ipconfig /flushdns

If this doesn't resolve then:


ipconfig /release

Wait a couple of minutes

ipconfig /renew

should renew your IP

Most laptops/PC's at home will only pick up the IP of your router unless you have a home network.
