Hi Rob,
Open an elevated command prompt. Run:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
To open an elevated command prompt, click start and type CMD. Right click
the entry that appears in the menu and choose 'run as administrator'. Click
continue at the UAC dialog. You must use this mode for these commands to
work properly.
