I just moved into a new apartment, setup my internet with comcast diresctly into my computer. everything was fine. unplug computer, put router in, computer into router. and I'm now getting the error message" local area connection didn't have a valid ip configuration. I have tried going to change adapter settings, unchecked internet protocol version 6(tcp/ipv6) and changed ipv4 to automatically obtaining an ip address

thank you

Make sure your router is setup for DHCP. Also reset the network settings to default on the computer, it should be automatically obtain IP by default so you must have changed something before if you had to change it to that.

After that, do an ipconfig command on the computer and see if you get a correct IP. If you can't access the internet, go into the router confi page and see what it has for the WAN port configuration. If it's a 192.x.x.x number that is probably wrong, you will need to reboot the modem, and may need to do a modem reset with the ISP for the router to talk to the modem properly.
