"Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP address
I have Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 and all of a sudden I can't get network connectivity. I was able to access the network when I just got the laptop, but now I get the exclamation point in the network icon and can't connect to the internet.

If you right-click the network icon on the system tray and choose "Troubleshoot Problems" does walking thru the wizard help?
If it's a wireless network you might also check this article:

Hi,
You need to make sure that the wireless network card driver and the wireless router firmware are up to date.
I would like to suggest you run the following commands with elevated privilege:
NETSH
INT IP RESET
IPCONFIG
/FLUSHDNS
If it does not work, you may also try to assign a static IP address to the wireless network card to test the issue.
What’s the result?
