Okay I think I have come to the conclusion that it was something I clicked on yesterday. My own fault of course but avg popped up saying it needed to restart with a timer on it and I willingly clicked okay as I use AVG. Anyway I switched on my computer today and I have no network connection, no ipconfig details and I cannot change the tcp/ip settings. I think it has blocked me the ability to fix from this level. Any ideas please guys?
