Disable and re-enable the NIC when you are connected to your wired network and see if you can get connectivity.
i'm lost. i'm not able to connect to the network.... i've disabled/renabled the device. Repaired, & it will just stuck at "Renewing IP address".

Bagggi, the steps you'd mentioned, i've the options just like that already. but it will just keep "acquiring network address" & cant connect.


SirDice, i've tried uninstalling my ZA fw... still the same problem.

Tried getting help from the technician support from my school... cant solve it either. :|
their advice: to reformat.



do i rly have to reformat my laptop? before i can find out what the problem is & fixed it without having to reformat?
