My internet stopped working on my desktop (but still works fine on my laptop). Help!?
The error message I'm getting is "this problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer" which is strange because it stopped working while I was connected. My laptop is plugged into the same adapter. Anyone know how this could be fixed?
I'm on Yahoo Answers because my laptop is connected but my desktop isn't.

It looks like there is a conflict on the ip address. You need to put your modem on a PPPoE mode and if you have a router put it on a DHCP mode. Call you ISP to help you configure this.

I used to have the same problem. I solved it by calling for help.
But this may work:
1.Go to Wireless network Connection
2.Click "View Available Wireless Networks"
3.Choose yours or one that is not locked
Hope it works!

the router will nonetheless artwork great without the laptop related to it so each and every thing could nonetheless artwork, you only easily need to hook up with a router with a cable to alter settings in the router and you will plug the pc into it with an ethernet cable in case you may

If you go to a command prompt (START; RUN; type cmd, press enter) and type:
"ipconfig/release" and wait a moment... then type
"ipconfig/renew" I think that's supposed to refresh your IP.
Also are you connecting wirelessly?
