So I finished building my computer yesterday, fired it up and no problems - except it wasn't able to connect to the internet after installing on necessary drivers. So I plugged my old computer back in and what do you know, I can't connect on that computer now, either.
So I started unplugging the modem, router, etc multiple times (this was all lastnight), and still nothing. Then this morning power cycled everything again - still not fixed.
Heres the thing though, if I take the ethernet cable out of the router, and plug it directly into the modem (so it goes straight from the modem to my computer) then the internet works fine. Problem is now other computer in the house doesn't have internet, just I do. Using the windows 7 troubleshoot tool, while connected through the router I got this.
"Local Area Connection" doesn't have a Valid IP configuration. - Not fixed"
Any ideas on what to do?
