Windows 7: "Local Area Connection" Doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

I'm having the same problem here.

Internet connection works fine, until I let my PC idle for about an hour or so. The connection then dies, but can be repaired by the Troubleshooter which fixes the error message about the invalid IP configuration.

I've reset the modem and the router many times. Did not help.



Any (more) ideas?

I'd post a new thread for the issue, but provide more info on the items that were requested in this thread.

Copy the url of your new thread and paste it here to let us know where it is and you'll likely get much more help.

How are you connecting (wired/wireless)?

OK. Good idea. Here you go:
