    A rather frustrating problem only after cropping up in last 20 minutes

    Network and internet was working away grand, until a bit exclamation mark comes up over the network icon in icon area yokey. Vista ultimate.
    Limited connectivity to the network, only 'local' apparently

    not the router or modem thats at fault as other machines working grand.

    Tried ipconfig /renew but says it cannot contact DHCP server.

    googled it and found this

    same problem, but no solution.

    any ideas? I really cant to do without the net on the pc tonight....

    OK Update

    I'm now able to see other computers on network, and connect to the router homepage

    But not the net!

    Did another ipconfig, under default gateway, above the IP for the actual gatway there is 0.0.0.0 . Is it trying to access the net through this.......I remember having to do change this on a win2k machine before but cant remember how
