Hi, I know there are many posts about this, but nearly all of the solutions are about drivers, and I believe that is not the problem here.
Short version: internet works, I reinstall PC, internet does not work, even on another laptop.
Today I reinstalled Windows 7 on an old machine. Internet was working fine before, and what may have been the mistake is that I did not disconnect ethernet cable before reinstalling. The motherboard is MSI (I think) and there was a CD with drivers (Intel), I let it install everything right away, then I noticed internet was not working (invalid IP configuration).
So I tried ipconfig /release and /renew, it said something about DHCP (sorry for lack of detail, I was in a rush). Strange is, I tried plugging it in my laptop (100% works elsewhere), but it could not connect to internet either. So I believe it has to do with configuration on that port. I do not have physical access to the router.
One additional thing, probably irrelevant. When reinstalling, there was a system partition, about 200MB. I did not touch it, I formated the other partition and installed on that one.
Any ideas?
