Ok, i had no idea if this should go under Win7 or WAN/LAN so i just picked one.
I connect directly to my school's network using a LAN cable to link my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop to the LAN port in my wall.
Recently, i went home for the weekend. After coming back on Monday, i connected the LAN cable, booted up, and now the Network icon in the lower right corner is showing a yellow triangle.
Funny thing is, it had been working perfectly for 2 months before this incident.
My Network Connections shows that my NIC is called "Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller", if thats any help.
Also, i ran the Win7 Troubleshooter and the result was: "Default Gateway couldn't be found".
Here is my /ipconfig all
