I need some serious help fixing my computer! Can anyone help me?

Question

Here's the problem: When I try to connect to the internet on my user side it says: This connection has limited or no connectivity. You might not be able to access the Internet. To fix this problem click the box.
I clicked on the box and it said this: This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer. So I clicked repair and a box popped up with the heading: Repair Wireless Network Connection
I waited and it popped up with this: Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed - renewing your IP address
Can anyone advise me(walk me through)of how to fix this problem so that I can access the Internet from my user side?

Answer 1

CONTACT YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER....''I.S.P''. AND ASK FOR TECH SUPPORT THEY WILL GIVE YOU YOUR IP ADDRESS AND WALK YOU THROUGH THE SET UP PROCESS..

HOPE THIS HELPS..RICK

Answer 2

Well, this happened to me lots of times and what I did was I reboot the computer and then I kept on renewing the IP address by clicking on the Repair button. If it doesn't work, you have to refresh the available wireless connections in your area and then try connecting to that wireless network. This should fix your problem. It does not solve the problem just by doing this once, you have to keep on doing this. I don't know why, but that's how it is.

Answer 3

Check to make sure that you are connected to whatever you get your network connection through. Make sure that if it is an external modem of some sort that you have some indicator lights on it. Next, try to reboot your computer. If that doesn't get it, then power down your modem, router or anything else that would be between the internet and your computer. Wait about 15 seconds and plug them back in. Now reboot your computer one more time. Try to hit a couple of sites. "Yea" if it worked...."Boooo" if it didn't. You may need to replace your modem or router.

Good Luck

BTW, how did you submit this question?

Answer 4

Wireless. The End. Let's see if it still dare say that on a cable. lol.

But srsly, I don't know what it should look like if you go to:
cmd -> ipconfig /all

But once it's been fixed, remember what it says for when something goes wrong.

Is your DHCP On? You can see that if you fire of the command ipconfig /all. Anyways; that assigns IP addresses so possibly that's off. If your wireless reception is just bad, then it's that.

Answer 5

First things first. Reboot, reboot, reboot (only reboot once). This is a simple fix that many forget about. If this does not do it, try unplugging your router; if you are using wireless connection. If neither work and/or you are using a land line based internet connection, plugged in, call your provider.

Answer 6

Firstly in Internet explorer check TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > CONNECTIONS > click on NEVER DIAL A CONNECTION and then click on LAN SETTINGS click on AUTOMATICALLY DETECT SETTINGS

Also you need to type in the network key to get full access to the network - click on the icon in the systray that refers to wireless networking open it up, check it is connecting to the correct network and type in the network key

Answer 7

Your router or modem is not assigning an IP address to your computer, Try cycling the power, on that equipment( turn off then back on) and try again.

Answer 8

Whenever something weird like that happens, I start by doing a system restore.
