Hi spitfire46,

a) Are you using a desktop or a laptop?

Make sure that the WLAN switch is turned on.

For Windows 7, you may try the following commands.

Click Start
All Programs\Accessories and right click on Command Prompt
Select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt window that opens, type the following commands, each followed by the Enter key:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine. This should help.

Later try to get the IP address, you will get it.

This worked for me! Thank you. My laptop would NOT connect to the internet for about a week. Thank you very much, spitfire46 for the question and Azeez N for the answer.

after trying the above to try to reconfigure my IP address, my computer screen is now flickering. Is there a way to undo this?
