Can you run winipcfg ? If your networking icon is disabled, you probably have some significant setup problems.

You can in DOS... here's how, I'm assuming that you are setting it to DHCP, and not fixed.

In DOS type

ipconfig

That will list all of the ip resources. Then type

ipconfig/renew_all

That should automatically reset them all, make sure that's its different than the one you had before, if its not you may need to realease them all first, type

ipconfig/release_all

That will release them, try renewing again. Hope that helps
