Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following question?
When I connect my ethernet cable to my laptop, running windows 7 64bit, it only connects to an "unidentified network" and grants no access to the internet. When I click on the troubleshooting button it says that the "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration"
I know that the internet, modem and cables all work because it runs on my friends computer which has Windows XP.
I have tried:
- the ipconfig/release + /renew
- turning things off and on
- installing a new driver for the router
- copying the IP address from my friends computer to mine
- using different cables and modem setups
- removing bonjour
- turning the windows firewall off
I am really lost for things to do and it's very frustrating. I'm on my year abroad at Uni in Moscow and my Russian is definitely not good enough to deal with a technician over the phone.
I really would appreciate any help, thanks
Joe
