Every day my computer requires ipconfig /release, renew So for some unknown reason for about a month now, every 20-24 hours without fail my computer will loose all connectivity and I will get the limited or no connectivity yellow icon. Only way to fix it is with a ipconfig /release followed by a ipconfig /renew, it is NOT the router, I have tried two routers at my house and it even did it while I was home for the holiday at my mothers. No idea why, but without fail it does it every day and the release renew is the only way I can fix it. Any ideas? Its getting a 169 IP address when it happens which im pretty sure means local to the router so im note sure. any settings I should check? Oh also i forgot to mention this happens on BOTH wireless and wired. Both are set to obtain ip and dns automatically and worked up until a month ago. Thanks for any info
Edit Browsing around I saw that alot of threads where recommending sfc /scannow, mine always stops at 5%, here is the log, have NO idea if it will help but w/e (in rar because too big for log type file) | My System Specs |

Hi zocheyado,
Since the same issue occurs with the 'wired and wireless connection', it could be a 'corrupt firewall'. Please share the 'firewall' installed in the system. You may try to 'disable' the 'anti-virus / firewall' and see if that works.
Also check the performance of the internet in 'Safe Mode with Networking'.
In the mean while, you may also try to 'Reset IP' and 'Reset Winsock Catalogue'. You may find the following steps useful:
1. Click How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to run the 'Microsoft Fixit' and 'Reset Internet Protocol'
2. If the issue persists, also try type the following command in an 'Elevated Command Prompt' window: 'netsh winsock reset catalog' (without quotations)
For an 'Elevated Command Prompt' check this link: Elevated Command Prompt
Hope this helps. Do reply if you have any further questions; would be glad to assist. | My System Specs | | |

Try running a start up repair from the Windows CD, it usually takes three start up repairs to fix system file problems.
This problem can also be caused by a virus or malware so running a virus scan would be wise. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 |

ipconfig/release: deassing current assigned ip address
ipconfig/renew: ask new ip address from dhcp server (=router)
release happens after 24 hours automatically and something 7 days. It depends how dhcp server has been configured. A few minutes before expiration he asks to extend the duration of that address automatically.
So if system powers off all of a sudden the ip address will be freed when expired on dhcp server.
in command prompt: Code: ipconfig/all>ip.txt Post ip.txt
Delete ip.txt afterwards | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number ACER ASPIRE 5742G OS Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz Motherboard Acer Aspire 5742G Memory 4,00 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series Sound Card (1) AMD High Definition Audio Device (2) Realtek High Defi Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 x 32 bits (4294967296 colors) @ 60 Hz Hard Drives WDC WD5000BEVT-22ZAT0 |

Thanks for the tips, when I get home from work today I will try the startup repair for sfc /scannow and try uploading the ip log as you stated. Already tried the first posts suggestions, waiting to see if it helps or not | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS windows 7 ultimate x64 CPU AMD 1055t 4.0ghz oc Motherboard Gigabyte 870 ud3 Memory 8xgb DDR 1600 Gskill Ripjaws Graphics Card GTX 460 Palit Monitor(s) Displays 42in Vizio HDTV PSU 700w Case Apevia X-Crusier Cooling Hyper 212+ Hard Drives 2x 500gb Samsung F3 7200rpm Raid 0 |
