Windows 7 - Strange Connectivity Issues, Please Help!

Hi there,

In the past two days, my computer (self-built with wireless adapter installed) has lost the ability to access the internet, and if it does, for minutes at a time. Other computers in my house are able to connect to the wireless, but not mine. The Windows Network Diagnostic reported that the network "doesn't have a valid IP configuration, but I am skeptical to this because of the fact that my computer is the only one having this problem. I have tried uninstalling Norton Internet Security, reinstalling my wireless adapter's drivers, but neither have helped. I have been using this machine for about 5 months now, and this is the first time a problem like this one has occurred. My Ethernet port has also stopped working, so an offline solution would be optimal.

Definitely willing to share system specs if needed

Thanks

Hi Pbox0,

Filling out your System Specs will definitely help. In the meantime, also check out this tutorial on troubleshooting internet connection in Windows 7: Internet Troubleshooting Guide
