It sounds like your computer is not obtaining an ip address from the router.  Try power-cycling the router: unplug the power cable from the back of the router for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in.  Wait a few seconds for the router to start back up, then try running the &#039;repair&#039; on the network connection and see if it renews your IP address.

If this doesn&#039;t get it, then its possible DHCP is disabled or just not running somewhere on the network, most likely the router.  Log in to the router&#039;s web interface and make sure that DHCP is enabled.  Let me know if any of this helps!
