Fooking laptop again. worked perfectly yesterday but when I booted it up today was told I had limited or no connectivity so no emails or t'interweb on it. Tried the usual fixes for the problem:

Windows Repair
ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

Checked the state and manually stopped and restarted the DHCP client service and the RPC service

Disabled and then renabled the wireless network connection.

And the bloody thing is still telling me that no operation can be performed on the local area connection while its media is disconnected and that the IP is currently 0.0.0.0

My desktop pc connects, my xbox connects and so does my tablet.

The thing that is really frustrating is that I fixed the same issue on a friend's pc a while ago and I'm buggered if I can remember what I did.  Banghead

Google may be your friend, there's loads of stuff out there from people who've boldly been gubbed before.  Sounds like a Bios issue

It doesn't appear to be a bios issue as I can connect to the local wifi network I just can't access the internet because it won't get the IP  address. I did check on google but their solutions are the ones I've already tried

XP, I may be getting some windows 7 disks soon so I can reinstall that instead.

I had the same problem with Win 7 a few weeks back - was the AVG firewall.....

The laptop came up with "The user Profile cannot be loaded" when I tried to log into my account.  rubschin:

I got in via the admin account I have as a backup and noticed that AVG was saying that a restart was required to complete update. Restart completed, still couldn't get in on my account. I opened the admin account again and went into AVG and it was saying the same thing. Restarted 3 more times - same thing.

I opened in Safe Mode and restored it back to 09/04 and voila - sorted  :thumbsup: I then manually updated AVG.

For some reason though, Firefox wouldn't work ("Couldn't Open XPCOM") so I used IE to install a new version.

All sorted.
