cannot renew ip address
HI. I'm having difficulty getting an internet connection through my wireless. My sis-in-law thought she would be nice and close my laptop without shutting it off first, putting it in sleep mode. When I went to open it up, I no longer had a connection. I tried my usual restart, which usually fixes it, but not this time. I have tried to repair the connection, ipconfig/release /renew, tested winsock, unplugged/shut down everything for several minutes. It always gets stuck on renewing the ip address.
This is what I see when I do ipconfig in the cmd box and the wireless card is searching.
no connection-specific dns suffix
ip address 0.0.0.0
subnet mask 0.0.0.0
no default gateway
If I try to repair, I get this message once it stops seraching:
windows could not finish repairing the prob because the following action cannot be completed
renewing your ip address
for assistance contact the person who manages your network
Now, I have another wireless in my house, and it's working just fine. I can connect the laptop to a wire and it's fine. Just not the wireless. I'm completely stumped.
I have xp pro, service pack 3, did not install anything new yesterday.
