Say the router is 192.168.137.1 and the PC .137.2; Do you mean to set the default gateway on the router to .137.2? I'm not sure if this is possible on the model I have.

1. How to I configure the DHCP server on the PC to give out IP addresses specifically on the Ethernet network? 2. When you say "just make sure to set the gateway DHCP option to point to the server address", what do you mean by that? thanks!

Even if I assign a static IP that isn't in the APIPA range, still no internet.

It is a physical machine, running Server 2012. X64 (I obtained a spare product key from school [Computer class gave away a bu nch of old computers]). It has the DHCP role enabled, and it also has File Services partially highlighted, but oddly, there's nothing checked under it (so assume it's not...

It is a Linksys, and the server does see it, but does/can not share it's internet connection with it. It gives it an APIPA address instead of a regular IP

Have you tried system restore? Or an offline virus scan?

It's kind of complicated, and involves loading a LIVE Ubuntu Session, but it CAN be done. ***WARNING: THIS MAY INVOLVE CHANGING BIOS SETTINGS*** However, Windows should automatically activate if you fresh install the same version that came with it. In the event that it does not: 1. Download any...

If you don't, you can always go on a computer running Windows 8.1 (activated preferably, I am not sure if it will work on an un-activated machine) and run the Windows Media Creation Tool (downloadable from Microsoft). You can then select any version of 8.1 to download and save as an ISO or copy...

press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to open task manager, then click "Show processes from all users", enter your password is needed, and sort by CPU usage and/or RAM usage. Figure out what program that is (if anything) and tweak it's settings or uninstall.

Try using 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as your DNS server (It's google's public DNS servers). Also, go into command prompt and type: ipconfig /all If you do it while having this issue, it will tell your what DNS servers It's trying to use. If you do it while the internet is working, you can manually...

Explorer.exe might not be running/is set not to run/is corrupted. If you can, do CTRL + ALT + DEL, select task manager, and start the process. If it doesn't work/if it doesn't work on reboot, then do the same thing, but go to File > New task, and type "CMD" and check the run as administrator box...
