    "Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration


    Hi
    Having a problem connecting to the internet with a Ethernet connected desktop. I am getting the following error '"Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration'. I have tried everything I have found on internet using my laptop with no success. This is in an apartment building so no access to the router.

    What Ive tried:
    Laptop works when connected to the same ethernet jack
    Desktop does not work when connected to another ethernet jack
    reset winstock and ip/tcp stack cmd "netsh winsock reset catalog" and netsh int ip reset reset.log"
    reinstalling drivers
    do not have bonjour dns services
    reinstalled windows 7 not formating

    Here is my ipconfig /all

    I remember reading that many people had issues in the past with the Nvidia NICs and were disabling them in favor of PCI add-in NICs. If you don't have one to try, it shouldn't be hard finding a friend with plenty of them. It's worth a shot, if you have access to one.

    Is your laptop running Windows 7? If not, it is possible (rare, but possible) that the router isn't compatible with Windows 7.
