This Icon always indicates "acquiring network address". On opening it, it
says "invalid IP address" and repair indicates "cannot be connected:
registering with DNS"

Can I fix this??
 
Hi James,

What kind of connection do you have?
Click start/run, type cmd and click ok. From the prompt, run ipconfig. What
are the IP and default gateway addresses?

REVISED Response


Ethernet Adapter---Local Area Connection

DNS- myhome.westell.com (This is verizon.net isp)
ip address- 0.0.0.0
gateway-blank

PPP adapter---My ISP

no DNS
IP address- 129.44.208.76
Gateway- 129.44.208.76

Thanks for replying. Can this help?? Looks like some confusion between
adapters. What do I do??

Hi,

Check the TCP/IP configuration of the LAN connection, as it is probably
wrong. If you have two, disable the one you aren't using.
