Desktop lost internet connectivity- Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration

Andy44516 — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 12:53:06 GMT

Around 2 weeks ago my desktop lost internet connectivity. My connectivity is generally stable and occasionally a reboot of the rooter sorts any issues, but not this time. I use a TP link set up and have tried another set of TP links and it still doesnt work. My error is 'Ethernet doesnt have a valid ip configuration'. I have tried a number of things including running an ipconfig /renew command which also returned an error 'An error occured while renewing interface internet : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out'.

ive had an engineer out who suggested my line speed wasnt good and that i needed an OpenReach engineer. This appointment should have been generated automatically apparently but wasnt, so I chased it up and then got an automated text a few days later saying my problem was solved! It isnt solved.

Has anyone successfully sorted this issue or does anyone have any ideas before I try and contact Sky again?
