I went to the little icon where it shows if it is connected to the internet or not and right clicked and hit repair, and it said it was unable to complete the repair because the "renewing your ip adress" action could not be completed.

Hey Tyler C,
Let's check to make sure you haven't inadvertently removed your network adapter drivers.
- Dan
Let's check to make sure you haven't inadvertently removed your network adapter drivers.
- Press Start
- In the Start Search field type devmgmt.msc and then press the ENTER key.
- In the Device Manager, expand Network adapters
- Under Network adapters, you should see your network adapter; do you? Does it have a red 'x' or a yellow '!' beside? Does it state it is running properly in it's settings?
- Select Start
- In the Start Search field type cmd -- right-click on the cmd program and choose Run as administrator
- In the new command prompt window, please type the following commands (*Note: each ping will take approximately 10 seconds to complete; wait for the command prompt to return before you type the next one. Also, the single '>' and double '>>' are intentional; please type the commands exactly as they appear):
- ipconfig /all > C:\results.txt
- route print >> C:\results.txt
- ping localhost >> C:\results.txt
- ping google.com >> C:\results.txt
- ping 209.85.171.100 >> C:\results.txt
- Once the above commands have completed, navigate to your C: drive and open the text file results.txt -- please copy/paste the contents of this file into your next response.

So i checked the network adapters, and there are no X's or exclamation marks. So i would venture to say that those are fine.
Here is the data you requested. Hope i did it right.

Hey Tyler -- is this on an XP machine, or a Vista? I've been basing my responses on Vista, but I can switch to XP if that's the case.
A 0.0.0.0 IP and Subnet mask generally indicate either a IP conflict, or a general driver fault. Please do the following -- *Note: You may need your Network adapter drivers CD in order to complete these steps.

Well Dan, my computer is running windows media center edition 2005, which is XP. (=
And i did both of those processes to no avail. I still get nothing. Any other suggestions?
When i look at the network thing, i send no packets and receive no packets, and the status says acquiring network.

IndeedWell Dan, my computer is running windows media center edition 2005, which is XP. (=
Could you please post a fresh ipconfig /all -- I'd like to see if anything has changed. Before we go on, I'll need a little more information about your network setup. Do you connect to a router, or directly to the modem? Are there any other users on your network? Cable, or DSL? Wired, or wireless?
If there are more than one computers on the network, from one of the working computers, can you please post an ipconfig /all as well.
To rule out software interference, please restart your computer in Safe Mode with Networking and try to connect to the Internet. Can you?
Thanks,
- Dan

Thanks Tyler. Please try the following two steps.
Step 1 - Powercycle your equipment:
Step 2 - Configure a Static IP:
Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right click on your Local Area Connection --> Select Properties --> Click on Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) once and press the Properties button --> Select the option Use the following IP Address: --> Enter in the following details:
Try to connect to the Internet; can you? If not restart your computer and try again, then perform the following tests:
Step 3 - Connectivity test:
- Dan
Step 1 - Powercycle your equipment:
- Turn off all computers/devices that are connected to your router.
- Unplug the power from your modem.
- Unplug the power from your router.
- Wait two minutes.
- Plug your modem's power back in; wait for your modem to boot up (this can take up to two minutes).
- Plug your router's power back in; wait for your router to boot up (this can take up to two minutes).
- Turn on your computers/devices.
Step 2 - Configure a Static IP:
Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right click on your Local Area Connection --> Select Properties --> Click on Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) once and press the Properties button --> Select the option Use the following IP Address: --> Enter in the following details:
- IP Address: 192.168.1.111
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
- Preferred DNS Server: 76.85.229.110
- Alternate DNS Server: 76.85.229.111
Try to connect to the Internet; can you? If not restart your computer and try again, then perform the following tests:
Step 3 - Connectivity test:
- Press Start
- Select Run
- Type cmd and press OK
- In the new command prompt window, please type the following commands (*Note: each ping will take approximately 10 seconds to complete; wait for the command prompt to return before you type the next one. Also, the single '>' and double '>>' are intentional; please type the commands exactly as they appear):
- ipconfig /all > C:\results.txt
- route print >> C:\results.txt
- ping localhost >> C:\results.txt
- ping 192.168.1.1 >> C:\results.txt
- ping google.com >> C:\results.txt
- ping 209.85.171.100 >> C:\results.txt
- Once the above commands have completed, navigate to your C: drive and open the text file results.txt -- please copy/paste the contents of this file into your next response.

Well Dan, i did the static ip and that seemed to work. You're efforts are greatly appreciated and i am willing to make a donation (=
So i this just a quick fix or should it be good for a while?

On a desktop, there's absolutely no reason why you couldn't use a Static IP permanently. Many sites actually recommend it, for port forwarding purposes, etc.
You could try returning your settings back to the "Obtain ... automatically" settings, and see if it lets you connect; maybe your connection just needed a "kick-start". Also, make sure all of the necessary services have started:
Let me know what you decide.

- Computer Browser
- DHCP Client
- DNS Client
- Network Connections
- Network Location Awareness
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- Server
- TCP/IP Netbios helper
- Workstation
Let me know what you decide.
