Cannot renew/release ip

[Legendman3]

I am getting this weird error when I try to renew/release my ip address:

No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected.
An error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : The system cannot find the file specified.

Are you doing this from an elevated command prompt?

That error crops up when you don't have admin privileges.

Yes I was using a elevated command prompt.

What firewall do you have installed? Is the DHCP service running? Have you tried uninstalling the network driver?

Or you can try this tool:
