Local connection but no Internet

Conrad11 · 13 Mar 2008 at 21:15

Hi there,

This one has me stumped. I closed my laptop last night having used the internet fine.

I open it up today and it is connection to the router (apparently), but the router is not giving it an IP address (a proper one like: 192.168.1.....).

When I open vista Network/Sharing Center crap, it shows that the connection to the router is fine but not to the internet.

I can't see any of the computers on the network either.

It is wireless connection.

I have tried resetting the router to no avail. I have tried manually setting IP address to no avail.

Whats wrong?

Thanks.

An error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : The system cannot find the file specified.

The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.

ipconfig /release then icponfig /renew is usually the first thing i do in scenarios like this
