Well, I've read through quite a few posts and tried most of the suggestions and nothing seems to work. I'm having winXP operating system and a Netgear wireless N 300 router with DSL modem. since last two ,I lost internet connection with my desktop. After checking all connections and the router, I tried connecting wirelessly with my laptop...worked fine. I disconnected the ethernet cable from the desktop and the laptop connected via the cable with no problems. So I figured it was the port. After installing a new ethernet port, it worked...for 12 hours. Then the same problem cropped up again.
I've tried repairing the internet connection and get the "cannot renew IP address".
Any thoughts?
Re: Cannot renew IP address
Hello
An IP address is dynamically assigned to a computer that connects to the Internet and who requests the DHCP server network (which distributes addresses). This server can be either a Windows PC sharing Internet access, a router, for example. This address is granted for a limited time ... usually one or two days. If restart before the expiry of that period, it may happen that a computer is denied the award of a new address because it already has, as the DHCP server. In this case, any connection is made impossible.
To fix this, we must release the IP address of the PC before you ask a new one. To this end, pull down the menu Start, Run. Type cmd and click OK. Type ipconfig / release, then press Enter. Then type ipconfig / renew and press Enter. Finally, type exit and then press the Enter key.
Once all these changes are made, everything should return to normal order.
Re: Cannot renew IP address
first of all if we take an internet connection then service provider giving is one unique IP then we connect two or more computers then it is a client -server system . so its have different sub IP for first Unique IP for this local network.
