If you have another computer, run this command in Command Prompt on both:

ipconfig /all

Post the results here.

I can and have run ipconfig/all on both my desk top and my laptop.
Because my desk top does not have an internet connection I can't post those results on here



I would say there are some slight differences, mainly in addresses but to my untrained eye they are the same.


Is there anything in particular I should look out for.

Give us the following values:

IPv4 address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DHCP Server
DNS Servers

How do I get a valid IP configuration?

Restart commputer (not shutdown, or hibernate or sleep, but restart). Oh, and switch off and on your router if not already done (but I'm sure you've already done both of these many times...)

I've already advised the OP to do exactly that, and even explained how.

PS: to copy from the Command window, right-click the start of the text to copy and choose Mark; left-click hold and drag the mouse to select what you wish to copy, press Enter to copy. You can then simply Ctrl+V to paste into a reply here. (Put it inside [ code ] tags for better formatting).

Give us the following values:

IPv4 address 192.168.1.69(Preferred)
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254
DHCP Server 192.168.1.254
DNS Servers 192.168.1.254

I hope I've got those correct,
Had to use a magnifying glass to read them.


There's a note at the bottom of that ipconfig/all readout which says:

255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254 is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

That seems ok I guess, can you open 192.168.1.254 in your browser? Does it ask for a passowrd/username

that

Me too, but if would find the make, model and if possible download new drivers first.
