hi all

i am at my wits end... my computer (an HP Pavilion dv6700) does not seem to be able to connect to the internet in either the wireless or ethernet-connected mode. looking on the internet i tried to do an ipconfig /release then ipconfig/ renew but when i tried the renew i got the message: "no operation can be performed on local area connection while it has its media disconnected"

i searched this error message on the forum and since every case seems to be different and requires posting of the ipconfig /all command here goes mine:

It would appear no network adapter is detected. All I see are tunnel adapters, which isn't really a network adapter. Use this tool so we know the specs of your computer. (You can post them on here. Even better would be to update your profile, all the way at the bottom when updating your profile, it has this tool and you can put it in a textbox, save it, and then an icon appears next to your name, which allows us to see all of this information.

Go to the start icon in the bottom left hand corner, right-click computer and select properties. Top left hand corner says device manager. Go to that. Do you see any red x's? If so, what are they on

What operating system? [Edit: OK, so I forgot this is the Vista forum. :( ]

Do the ipconfig this way ...

ipconfig /all > config.txt & config.txt

A Notepad window will open; copy here the first part of the file up to, but not beyond, the first tunnel adapter.

I'm guessing the rest of it got cut off?

You make me feel dumb every time you reply on a thread I have replied on. I need to start thinking more.

My goal in life! :p Not! Almost everything I've learned has been from others' posts here or doing stuff wrong with my computers. :)

Actually I think you and I make a half decent team 'cause we are usually on the same page but think of slightly different possibilities or techniques.

Yeah, well I'm learning at a very slow pace then.

I don't know about you but decent isn't very good, so half decent is like terrible. Ha.

hope it helps.... purduebmaker7, as to your initial response, i'm not using my (affected) computer to correspond here, i'm borrowing somebody else's to do this, so i'm not sure i care utilize your method, but thanx a lot nevertheless

You will need to use your computer in order to troubleshoot it. If there is a red x on your network card in device manager, that would be a definite problem. Seeing the new configuration shows that in fact your computer is able to reach the router and has been assigned an ip address and the other appropriate settings, I doubt there would be a red x on your network adapter.

I would only try to connect to the internet through the ethernet cable, and not wirelessly. Your settings are correct, which makes me to believe there is a configuration problem with the router. Something like MAC address filtering would prevent you from accessing the internet. Make sure there is no MAC address filtering on the router. Terrynet will tell you this, along with more information.
