Keeps on saying Acquiring Network Address

NeedForHelp · Post by **NeedForHelp** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 12:04 am

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 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.
