Alright, I'm about to end up tearing my hair out over this. I'm trying to get my IP to refresh, so I can get a new one. Doing it on Windows XP was easy enough. But for the life of me, I cannot get this dang thing to work. Each time I try

Code:

ipconfig /release
 
OR 
 
ipconfig /renew

It gives me a stupid error. I've been to every corner of the internet trying to figure out what in the world I'm supposed to do. Now I'm not exactly super-savvy with this stuff, but I do know that everything I've tried so far should work. I know I have a dynamic IP address, checked that myself and called to find out. But even so, I always have the same one.

So. Does anyone, at all, know how to get a dynamic IP address to change, or to use the above codes to change it? Or something else? Tearing out my hair here...

EDIT: The errors I get:

Code:

C:\>ipconfig /release
 
Windows IP Configuration
 
An error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : The sy
stem cannot find the file specified.
 
 
 
C:\>ipconfig /renew
 
Windows IP Configuration
 
An error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : The sy
stem cannot find the file specified.

Used most of these, none seem to work: How to change (Dynamic) IP address in Windows 7 or Vista?

According to the error you are receiving, you either do not have a NIC (network interface card) or you dont have the drivers installed. NOTE the "Loopback Pseudo-Interface" part of the error...

What does Device Manager show for Network devices???

yah you can try to reinstall driver..

go to device manager and see the driver..is it already installed? or still icon question.

It's always BEEN installed. I don't get why it's not working.

Can you post a screen shot of Device manager?

maybe you do this step. check your connected cable UTP if you use PC and connect by UTP cable.
then see the status is connected or not.

if still can't so i guest the LAN card is broken, try the other card..

ryo... from his error message the PC isnt seeing the NIC. Either a bad NIC or bad/incorrect/nonexistant driver.
