    Hello all :),
     
    As you can read in the title, I can't connect with my wired Internet connection. The message keeps saying 'Ethernet can't find IP configuration'. Although I am connected to it, it's just says 'limited'.(Doesn't work for my windows 7 & 8.1) - Realtek PCIe FE Family controller
     
    Situation: I live in a new appartement - Got cable port to connect with PC - Tried with my neighbour's laptop and worked for him - about 4 other people on this network.
     
    I've been trying to solve this issue for over 6 hours now and I'm so tired and desperate..
     
    Is there anyone who could please help me out?
    Thanks in advance x

    Go to command shell and run the following commands

    IPCONFIG/Release

    IPCONFIG/Renew



    This will refresh the IP Address lease and grab a new IP lease from DHCP from router .

    IPCONFIG/FlushDNS

    This will flush the DNS cache

    Now try to get to the web etc. If it still doesnt work then run the following:

    IPCONFIG/All

    and then write down the following info and share it here:
