I'm guessing it is an old ethernet driver. I had a system recently where that was the problem. Updated the driver and the internet started working again and billions of people around the world were happy.

Check your ethernet drivers are up to date (see your motherboard manufacturer's website).

You may need to flush your dns cache and then renew your ip config.
Run these from your command line.

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

That's a problem with your local network/machine, so unlikely to be affecting anybody else. TL's ethernet driver suggestion is a good one, especially if you just had an OS patch.

Have you got any other ethernet devices plugged into your router, and are they picking up IP addresses correctly? If they are, it narrows down the scope of the issue to just your machine.

Basically what Sn00ks says to fix.

Both me and my brother having the same problem might try the winsock,both of us had no problems since the latest update then had ip problems.

Sounds like you might be using a network device that is broken mate. Common thread for 2 machines on the same LAN.

Yeah both us using power line adapters might see if the sender is playing up
