I tried doing this:

Press Start > Run
Type in:
cmd
Press enter
Type in:
ipconfig /release
Press enter. (your net connection will die for now, but this next command fixes it)
Then type in:
ipconfig /renew
Press enter.
Then type in:
ipconfig /flushdns

but it says the required operation requires elevation when i tried ipconfig /release


later i tried Press Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > right click > "Run as administrator"

then it says windows ip configuration
no operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected


please help

is the cable plugged in?

Is this XP or Vista?

Are you an Administrator?
