So i have a brother in law that had a nasty virus, and took over his whole computer. so i end up dumping a new version of an operating system on his computer. clean it all out.

its a dell. so i get everthing reinstalled and then got the drivers from dells website, and all is good.

now to get the internet to update and scan and windows update.

well i had an exclamation point on the NIC, so installed the driver for that.

so now i update the antivirus but i am gettting a limited to no connectivity exclamation point. how did i get that but get the update to my antivirus?

so i do a repair, and it will not let me renew the ip address.

so when i type in: ipconfig/all

all i get is:

the nic name: INTEL (R) PRO/100 VE NETWORK CONNECTION

primary dns suffix was blank.

node type: broadcast

ip routing enabled: yes
wins proxy enabled: yes

autoconfiguration ip address: 169.254.83.208

subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

default gateway was blank and i have no dns servers.

I mean i got to update my antivirus but no webpage and it wont let me renew my ip address or let me repair the connection.

I went into the services area and tried to see if anything was disabled or what.

can i get any help?

it looks as if i am not getting any real ip address but one that was given to me by the computer itself.

i dont know what other steps to take.
