Try releasing first.

Open a command prompt.
Type or paste:

ipconfig /release

Hit Enter.
Type or paste:

ipconfig /renew

Hit Enter.

Now try it.

If that doesn't work, try this...

Open a command prompt.
Type or paste:

ipconfig /release

Hit Enter.

Reboot both you modem (unplug it until the machine reboots, then plug it
back in) and your computer.

Open a command prompt.
Type or paste:

ipconfig /renew

Hit Enter.

Try again.
