Multiple internet connections with no access (wireless adapter)
Here's what happened:
I wanted to set the computer to a static IP of 192.168.0.2. I tried this by going into Network and Sharing Center, clicking Change Adapter Settings, right clicking Wireless Network Connection and selecting Properties, selecting Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and selecting Properties, selecting "Use the Following IP Address" and then setting the IP address and default gateway to the above Ip address, keeping Subnet mask at 255.255.255.0. I set Preferred DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and Alternate to 8.8.4.4.
Well, that didn't work. I lost internet connection immediately. I later realised it was probably because my router had that in the range of auto-assigned addresses.
Anyway, I changed it back to Obtain IP address automatically.
Now I still don't have internet access. I have tried restarting my computer as well as resetting the router.
When I hover over the wireless connections icon, it says I am connected to both my home wifi connection as well as "unidentified network" both with no internet access.
