Will not connect to the network and hence the Internet...
This happened just this morning after months of having no problems. Sure, my computer said something about sharing the same IP address as some other computer on the network. I could access the other computers on the network through my computer but they couldn't access mine.
And there was nothing wrong with my connection to the network or the internet. Then suddenly, this morning, I couldn't connect to either of them.
When I restarted, the icon indicating that I'm not connecting to the network appeared. Going into "My Network Connections" tells me that I'm got "Limited or no connectivity". Clicking repair gives me a popup that says "Windows could not finish repairing the problems because the following action could not be completed: Renewing your IP address".
But it acts a bit strangely. For example, Tvtorrents.com is a very slow site. If I go there, it'll take a few seconds before I get the usual "Could not compute" error message. If I go to any of the fast sites, the message (page, really) appears almost instantly.
