I have a friends laptop here and it will not connect to the internet. He said it worked fine for a while then just won't allow him to access the web. It says it is connected, but nothing will come up.
I have done a lot of googling, and running around in circles, and still have nothing
The most I have come up with is that the IP address was 169.xxx.xxx.xx I have read this is when it is not getting an IP from a DHCP server. After messing around I got it to show the correct IP, 192.xxx.xxx, but it still would not give interent access. I then tried RUN>CMD>ipconfig /all(shows the proper IP)>ipconfig /release(all 0's like it should be)>ipconfig /renew(it gives me that darn 169 this time.
I know enough about the internet to use it, but not fix something like this. I would appreciate any and all suggestion
