Hey, ive recently tried to set up a wired connection on my PC but am not getting anywhere on my own (few hours of looking for solutions) so its probably time to get some help.
Im running windows 7. Wireless has always worked fine till i snapped the receiver in half. My laptop's wireless works fine, as does a wired connection using the same cable.
Troubleshoot gives me 'local area connection doesn't have a valid ip configuration'. ipconfig /renew times out with 'Cannot renew Ip address and Unable to contact your DHCP server'.
ipconfig shows:
