    "Local Area Connection" Doesn't have a valid IP configuration.


    I'm running into an issue which is hindering the enjoyment I am getting out of my system. Quite frequently I am getting these issues where I lose connection to the internet at random times. I then "Trouble Shoot" problems with the connection and I get the fixed issue of: "Local Area Connection Doesn't have a valid IP configuration."

    I've looked in several other posts, and nothing has quite worked out for me thus far. I have general medium level of understanding relating to computers. Hope to hear an answer soon.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Can you post a screenshot of your ipconfig /all output?

    Or try this:

    Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

    @Echo on
    pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    attrib -h -s -r hosts
    echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
    attrib +r +h +s hosts
    popd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset all
    netsh int ip reset all
    shutdown -r -t 1
    del %0

    Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click on the flush.bat file to run it as Administrator.

    Your computer will reboot itself.

    You could try assigning each of your computers a static ip address. It will be the same day after day.

    Based on that, you've got to try the second step I posted.

    Then post another ipconfig...

    So I see you have new lease times. But I've never seen a lease expire in the year 2048! Are you connected directly to a single router, which is directly connected to your modem? Or a double router setup? If it's a single router setup, your DNS addresses are also wrong.

    Are you sure you ran flush.bat in an elevated command prompt?

    I did run flush.bat, and I am connected to a single router which is connected to a modem via Ethernet cable.

    But are you sure you ran flush.bat from an elevated (administrator) command prompt?
