    As said by Ken, 169.254.xx.xx is a bad ip address which is auto-generated by the OS when your router fails to give ip address to the pc. This time, click start and in the start search box, type cmd, then right click on cmd and click Run as Administrator, now in the black window, type netsh reset winsock catalog and press Enter, Restart the pc. If this doesn't work, try a system restore. or else, a clean install.
    Thanks, but the cmd.exe says that the command wasn't found.

    In the clip you showed us the Ip is listed as 169.254.x.x that means the nic is improperly conigured usually because of the driver. could you list you system specs and networking setup ( i haven't been here for the thread)

    Has he updated his drivers for the NIC to the most current?
    As I've posted it: The NIC-driver is up to date.

    Done and restarted. The problem still persists. The network diagnose says as before: "The LAN-connection has no valid IP-configuration." It's crazy.

    hi taurus, i m really very sorry for the late reply. Looking at the problem, nothing has worked so far so i guess a clean install is the only way to fix this issue.

    Hi before you try a clean install, I think that you might have a firewall or a protection solution stoping you from getting an IP address, this happen to me and others before. check for the existance of following software on your laptop : ESET, norton, or any firewall solution. windows firewall doesn't do this as far as I know. also do you remember you installed anything new on the laptop before this started?

    No external firewall, no installations or other system changes before the problem started. I'll reinstall Win7 RC.

    You are welcome taurus, sorry to say but some issues are unfixable and they need Os re-installation.
