Ok this is my problem. Yesterday I went to this LAN Party (it was fun nothing like playing starcraft drunk) and they had to set something up so I would have an IP Adress now since I have been home I cannot get it to work properly I can't get access to the internet.

Please awnser quickly

Run the connection wizard again. If you setup yourself with a static IP at the party and your LAN at home is Dynamic you will have to convert back to DHCP. Did you change your workgroup also? If so you will need to switch back.
Could you give a little info on your Home LAN?

Basically my home lan is just a router with a cable modem hooked up to it.

I can't remember exactly what he did but I know he typed a couple of ip adresses somewhere.

I am not really good with networks so I am not all that sure what static and dynamic means and stuff like that.

If you don't know you are probilily on Dynamic(DHCP). Which means your router does all the work :thumbsup:

Open TCP/IP and set the IP address field to "Obtain Automaticly" in the DNS field also set to "Obtain Automaticly". Leave the rest alone.
