Just the other day I was on the internet just fine until I shut it down. All the other laptops in the house and the PC can still connect to the internet just fine. I had not installed any new software but it will just not connect to the wireless network. I checked my event log and it tells me that my DHCP failed to renew my ip. When I do IP config I have no default gateway. I have tried flush dns renew dns, winsock and everything i can think of nothing works. I even tried connecting it directly to the modem/router and it give me the same Limited connectivity. Please help me out here. I can't even find a thread where someone answered this problem!

I have a dell studio 1550, running Windows Vista
I have AT&T internet, the router and modem are one machine.
