Hi all, it's me again (the vista noob)
I was on my laptop last night using my wireless connection, I turned my laptop off and when I turned it back on, no internet! I did some reading this morning about it and found out I have a "Bad IP" starting with 169, I did a command prompt ipconfig /release but got this "no operation can be performed on bluetooth network connection 3 while it has it's media disconnected. an error occurred while releasing interface wireless network connection: the RPC server is unavailable. no operation can be performed on local area connection while it has its media disconnected" So I plugged in my ethernet cable and nothing (no internet with that ether). I did a system restore and got nothing there. Got into safe mood, nothing. I shut down my Linksys and modem and restarted all my PC's, still nothing, so I reset my Linksys, nothing, still no new IP, still no wireless for my laptop.
I am running Vista 64 bit on a Gateway
P-7801u. I have a Linksys WRT54GS V.2
Knowing me I missed something and could really use the help.
Ok so I fixed my problem and I hope this helps anyone who is having the same problem. I did a System Restore, but this time I went back about a week or so, it's not the best fix but it worked.
