    I'm using wireless, and for some reason, my computer cannot assign it an IP, forcing me to either restart the router. Or proceed through Diagnose and Repair, and get a new IP. However, recently, that option to get a new IP is gone.

    It says to PLUG in a network, while I'm using wireless. How the f?

    Whenever I look at my ipconfig, at least 50 tunnel etc.. appear. Could they be interfering? How do I remove them?

    Windows is normal to do this, the "Local Area Connection" is your Ethernet Port. If your using wireless though, disregard it. To make it stop happening just disable the Local Area COnnection(s). :)

    Im not sure about the main problem though, sorry. :eek:
    ...maybe with those disabled and out of the way, windows will be able to find a real diagnosis. ;)

    Do you have a Static IP set on your computer/router?

    You're very smart ;) Thank you, it worked. Hopefully, it'll stay that way and not force me to disable it all the time.

    And I think I have a static... I'll get back to you.

    Thanks again.
