Internet connection lost, no valid IP configuration?

[20725]

Everything has been working fine, using Win10 Edge, today I have no internet access to my desktop.
All other devices in the house work (Internet) fine. I am connected hard wired to a netgear WM2000RPT. Windows troubleshooter says " 'Local Area Connection' doesn't have a valid IP configuration"
How do I fix this?

I could be wrong, but it sounds like your computer is trying to take an IP address already claimed by one of the other components in the house. Have you tried switching the router off (wait 15 seconds or so for everything to clear out of memory) and then switching it back on.
I thought I'd ask the easy question first - so apologies if you've already tried it!

try typing this at a command prompt...

ipconfig /release

then..

ipconfig /renew

This should force the computer to ask the router for a new ip..

I have this problem too. When I try and do renew it says unable to contact DHCP server. Request has timed out.
