Question

I have everything set to obtain automatic ip and dns address but still can't connect to the internet

Answer 1

Try and turn off windows firewall? the cable your using are you sure it works fine, if not try replacing the cable? and your internet works?

Answer 2

Is this for a gaming system?  or a computer?  Either way you should call the manufacturer of your router and they will guide you through a painless process involving maybe a firmware upgrade or just changing a couple of things in your router menu.

Answer 3

Have you tried resetting the router/modem and your computer? It's tough to tell since you didn't give much info on your internet setup.

Answer 4

Is your modem working? that's a question to consider.

If it is, then you should refresh your IP address.

To do so, type this into Command Prompt: ipconfig /refresh

Answer 5

The Default Gateway setting must be the IP Address of the NAT enabled router that will assign your address. Without a Default Gateway assigned you can not connect to the internet.

I hope this helps.
