I was using Linksy wireless to get my internet connection and it's hooked up to another computer in the house, and then I downloaded windows defender and it said that my computer had to be automatically restarted. And after my computer turned back on My connection was no longer there, it had signal and all that but it wasn't connected....so i hit repair and it said that windows could not renew my ip address. So I've been getting frustrated, it won't let me release and renew my IP address myself (everytime I go to run it says that another program is already using that file), and I tried turning my firewall off, and unpluging stuff and nothing has worked...so I went to properties and manually put in my IP address since it said it couldnt find it(and now it says I am connected again) but it is asking for my DNS server address so I can get on the internet. Was it the right thing for me to manually type in my IP address, since it couldn't find it for me? What should I do....
