Dear all,
Yesterday, I upgraded my Compaq laptop (bought 1 month ago) from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate.
When the update was finished, it was not possible to connect to the internet anymore. I am using a wired broadband connection. I tried both with and without the interference of the router. However, the problem of not recognizing the network remains.
I run the problem solving program, which suggested to switch off the modem and to disconnect the wires for aprox. 5 min. This didn´t work. The program then said that my LAN connection doesn´t have a valid IP configuration, but doesn´t give me a solution.
My IP-adress is 169.254...... Which I guess, is not right....? I made sure that the laptop "obtains IP-adress automatically"....so I just don´t know what to do anymore.....
I really hope that someone is able to help me. That would be just great!!
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Bart
