These lines indicate the origin of the issue. IP Address 169.xxx.xxx.xxx means you are not being assigned an IP Address from the DHCP Server. It also means your adapter is working enough to know it should have received an Address, but it didn't so it assigned itself the 169....(It is good news)
Next stop in line may be your Router or Cable Modem - however your setup is configured. They may need a simple power cycle. Do not know what you have, but saying you have both, turn both off for a minute. Turn on the Cable Modem and let it boot completely. Turn on the Router, letting it boot completely. Turn on computer and see how it is. If not working, turn all off again, and turn on Router then Cable Modem then computer in order, allowing each to boot completly. Still not working then we will need to know the Name Make and Model of the Router and Modem to dig deeper. (Also try the boot sequences using a Wired Connection)

The Media disconnected for the ethernet probably means a defective cable or NIC.

I have both linksys modem and router
all other computers and devices in the house work properly
the hp laptop will not connect when the ethernet cable is hooked up
the cable works fine on desktop
also allready tried reseting the router and modem which also did not work

is it posible that the card in the laptop is faulty???though ive never heard of that happening
i did have to swap the memory out, the original stick was faulty
the laptop was purchased in Jan.

[nemebass]

dont know if it was coincidence or not, the problem began after an adobe flash update
i dont see why that would cause it though

[TerryNet]

What firewall or security suite is, or ever was, on the system?

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Vista or 7.

Start - All Programs - Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

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.

macafee, the free one with cox cable subscription, have it on all my computers
did the three resets through command prompt
still did not fix the problem
still conects with limited conectivity, but cannot access the internet

Look though all of your Router Settings. Be sure you have no Blocked Clients or MAC Filters that would exclude this computer. Connecting the computer directly to the Cable Modem will eliminate the Router. If it works then a Patch cable from Modem to Router to Computer should also work. If not, then a hard reset on the Router would be my next step.Be sure you know how to reconnect and reconfigure the router, the reset will disconnect all the other computers. Many how to videos on youtube

Looks like it may be a dns issue.

Uninstall McAfee and run the Removal Tool. You can reinstall after testing.

no blocked clients on modem or router
the comp will not connect with LAN cable
all other computers work fine on modem and router
the HP just wont work
it will connect but with limited conectivity on both wifi and Lan cable

this applies to Vista - but has links for the issue in other OD, so this may help.
