The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

Hi, Before moving on, could you please check the following points on your side? 1. Does the computer network adapter support IPv6? 2. Does current network support IPv6? 3. Are you using a router? If so, does it support IPv6? Thanks.

If you are on a network that does not use IPv6 and you have the protocol enables, you will see a bunch of these errors. No cause for alarm. You can disable IPv6 by deselecting the selection. However, if you are on a network that does support (or at least is supposed to) IPv6, then you have something to investigate.

Yes to all unless windows 7 does it different than vista

It did in Vista but Windows 7 has given me the error in Event Viewer - I can connect to the internet without problem however...
