Keeps on saying Acquiring Network Address

**NeedForHelp** · 10-14-07, 11:04 PM

I can't connect my laptop to the internet.
It keeps on saying "Acquiring Network Address, but when I connect my friends laptop to my modem, it gets connected.

I tried the following
I manually typed the IP address, subnet mask, Gateway, DNS servers in the TCP/IP properties using the values I found in my friends laptop. Then I tried hooking my laptop to the modem and it works but the connection is not stable. I tried restarting and it returns to it "Acquiring Network Thingy State". I tried right-clicking the system tray icon of LAN Connection and click repair and it cannot "Register DNS".

Please help me, I don't even know what this problem is.

out of the blue question here but do you have other software manging your wireless connection or are you letting windows do it?

I'm not using wireless connection
I just hook up the laptop to the zyxel using utp cable

I solved this case weeeeeeee
The error seems to have a connection with the "RPC Unavailable" thingy
I don't know what that is so I reinstalled my OS and it works.
Try reinstalling your operating system.
