I can see the local network, but I can't connect to the Internet.

Most LANs use a gateway server to convert the internal IP addresses that are used within the LAN to a separate IP address that identifies this network to the Internet. To establish an Internet connection, your computer's TCP/IP network configuration settings must specify the addresses of the gateway and one or more DNS servers.

Check that your computer has received an address by following these steps:

  1. Open a command prompt (run cmd).

  2. Look at the network configuration with ipconfig /all.

  3. Reinitialize DHCP (request a new address) with ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew.
