Help! I have a Gateway desktop that was connected through a Belkin router with a wired connection. I was on the internet and had AIM open and lost my connection. I have since not been able to reconnect on that computer. I now have it wired directly to the modem. Gateway gave me these steps and I have tried them all,
Gateway Support - Windows Vista - Internet/Network Connectivity, to no avail.
When I run ipconfig/renew I get an error message that says "An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out"
Any help is appreciated, I am out of ideas and I have searched the net and find others with similar problems but not a fix for it. I have also done a total system recovery and restored it to factory settings.
