Try commands ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /release ( kind of refreshing DG address in case you use DHCP autonetwork configuration ) then run ipconfig without parameters to see if DG address changed try run ping "default gateway IP address" ( dotted number ) to see if DG answers.... if still doesnot work, check if you have set DHCP autonetworkconfiguration. For this you need administrator privilege: In control panels centrum of network and sharing ( guessed naming, having localized W. ) Show status Properties Protocol TCP/IPv4 Properties Set IP address automatically from DHCP server Poutnik

tcorrection: ...... Try commands ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew ( kind of refreshing DG address in case you use DHCP autonetwork configuration ) ....... Poutnik
