Default renew ip address. HELP!
My internet was working fine on my laptop... and then it stopped. Iv'e plugged and unplugged the modem,tried to repair the connection and tried ipconfig. Nothing works. When I try to repair connection it tells me it cannot renew the IP address.. I need help! I have a linksys wireless broadband router. Ive tried everything I can think of.. I don't think I have a vircus becuase I have anti vircus on my computer. I need serious help!! all ideas are welcome.

release and renew doesnt work.

Can you connect to the router? Go to your browser and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar (or I know most Linksys routers use that address) If you get a password dialog, then you know it's connected.

Also, have you checked your settings? Go to start > run > type CMD, then type ipconfig /all. What are the settings for whatever card you use to get online? Does it have any IP address assigned?

You could also try manually configuring the information. I forget right off if Linksys routers work as their own DNS and all. But basically you configure your network card's IP address(192.168.1.2 to 254), subnet mask(255.255.255.0), gateway (192.168.1.1) and DNS servers(May be assigned by ISP, may be your router's IP).

try clicking "repair" on the internet statup icon.
the other option i'd use is to yank and replug the router's power chord

That will make your network card try to obtain a new IP address from the DHCP server on the router. It's the same thing as using the Repair button someone else suggested above though you may (or may not) get more meanful output if ipconfig fails.

Not really - it repairs the whole thing.

ipconfig/renew - renews the IP! and only the IP.
