no connectivity

I am still trying to fix the error " limited or no connectivity"
I have tried some things and to no avail. PLEASE HELP IT IS MY WIFE and you can make me look like superman.

 

what have you tried? how are you connected, wired or wireless? xp or vista? turn firewall off while troubleshooting as well.

first thing you can try real quick is this:
start - run - type cmd - enter
type ipconfig/release - enter
ipconfig/renew - enter

 

King I have 2 laptops one has vista and the other XP. I have verizon dsl that feed to a lynksys wireless router. A few days ago, both laptops were woorking fine. Then the XP gave the error " limited or no connectivity". I did as you suggested and ran ipconfig/release enter and ipconfig/renew. this that follows is what the command stated after hitting the enter button.

I typed ipconfig/release then it said;

Windows IP Configuration

then typed ipconfig/renew and it said this;

Windows IP Configuration

No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has it's media disconnected.
An error occured while renewing Interface Wireless Network Connection 2 :
Unable to contact your DHCP server.

I hope this can give some insite.

 

can you plug into the router with a cat 5 cable, then try to ipconfig and see what message you get

 

Thanks for everyone help. I copied a download of explorer 7 sp2 and overwrited the eplorer and it seems to be working fine. I am not sure if the problem came from using the registry cleaner that I downloaded here. As of now it is working fine.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

glad you got it fixed
