Hi:

I have been having a great deal of problems getting my Vist desktop to
connect to the Internet. It was working fine until I had to remove my
wireless router. Anyway, I spent a over 2 hours on the pnone with both my
ISP and HP helpdesks but they could not resolve the issue. My XP laptop
connects fine to the Internet so I know the signal from the modem is
fine...it is an issue with Vista.

Anyway, the problem is that is Vista will not run the ipconfig /renew
command in the CMD function. I was able to use ipconfig /release OK but not
the renew. I am in the CMD funtion as an administrator so that is not the
issue. I even did a system recovery to a few days ago and reinstalled the
network adapter but that hasn't helped.

I have searched online for an answer to this problem with little success.
Is there some way to force Vista to renew ther ip address?

Thanks...

Did you right click Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator"? Does
the Command prompt window indicate Admistrator Command Prompt?

Yes, I was in the Administrator mode. The ipconfig /renew actually returns
an error (can't remember the actual error code) and when I test with a Ping
all the packets are lost...

Just to be clear, running as an Admin user is not the same as running a
program elevated. Even the Admin user has to specifically run a program "As
Administrator" to do some things.

Yes, I did a right click from the start menu and ran the CMD program as an
Administrator. The error message I received was not about elevation rather
Vista was unable to renew the IP.

In other words, ipconfig /renew is not working for me in Vista...the release
worked but it would not renew.

On the chance that it is a Winsock problem, try the guided support here if
the symtoms make it reasonalbe to do so:

Hi...thanks for the help. None of the solutions actually worked, and I
finally had to reload Vista on my machine. Everything works now...
