Answer 1

You may not be connected to your router. The connection cannot be "repaired" unless you are logged into your router wirelessly or are connected by LAN to the router.

First, make sure you can connect to the router, then repair the connection. If you cannot connect to the router, disable the adapter you are using to access the router, then enable it again.

If you cannot connect wirelessly to the router, you may be entering the wrong password and you may need to reset the router. If you are connecting by LAN and it's not showing a connection, you need to make sure your plugs are firmly connected and the router is powered ON, with the front panel LED's showing that your computer is connected to the router. If it is not, there is a connection problem between your router and the computer.

Once connected to the router, you should run Winsock Fix, which may fix your problem: http://files.snapfiles.com/localdl834/WinsockxpFix.exe (this link goes DIRECTLY to the download). This will help "repair" your connection.

Good luck.

To get a new IP this is what you do. Go to Start>Run, type "ipconfig". Once you see your IP, type "ipconfig /release" This will drop your IP to all zero's. Then type "ipconfig /renew". This will give you a new IP. However, this will only work if your computer is set for dhcp both IP and DNS. If you get a 169.. IP then your NIC is not communicating with your router or modem. There are several methods in fixing that. So if you get that, then post another question.

Before trying any other methods to change your IP address, try turning off (or unplugging the power of) your Cable/DSL modem for five minutes. In many cases this will change your IP address. However, if that does not change your IP address, repeat the process for 8 hours (overnight works well) instead of 5 minutes. Hopefully this will result in an IP change.

If the above does not result in your IP address changing, please look through the below for the situation that best matches yours and attempt to change your IP address that way. Unfortunately you are not able to get your IP address to change in all cases, as it is ultimate determined by your ISP's DHCP configuration (when you've got a dynamically assigned IP address, that is.)

Windows - Computer connected directly to the modem

Get to a command prompt. (START, run, cmd).
Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
Type "ipconfig /renew" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
If you are using a cable/DSL modem and a router, you may wish to connect your computer directly to the cable/DSL modem. Please note that this could significantly impact your system security. This allows your ISP's DHCP to issue you a new (hopefully changed) IP address based of the (hardware) MAC address of your computer's ethernet card.

If all the above has not worked to change your IP address and you have a router, check and see if there is a "Clone MAC Address" option. Using it should change your IP address, however, you'll only be able to do it once (in most cases).

These will not work in all cases. If all else fails contact your internet service provider (ISP) and ask them if they are able to change your IP address or how long your connection needs to be off for your IP address to change.

Answer 4

you can try switching to static ip instead of dhcp

Answer 5

Try deleting and then recreating your network connection.
