New PC build for someone else, trying a wired connection but keep on getting the error.
"does not have a valid ip configuration".

I have tried Updating the drivers, restarting the router/pc but no luck.

PC Specs:
Phenom x2 555
Asus M4A78LT-M LE
4gb ram
Nvidia 450

Any Ideas?

cheers

sounds like a static ip address is set, and the ip has already been nabbed by something else. another pc, xbox, ps3 etc.

Cheers for the quick reply. Got the option set to automatically obtain IP address on the settings.

Do you have any VMs installed or any "Unknown" devices under network?

How about logging into the router and setting the PC as a static IP?

use cmd/ ipconfig /all to get the mac address

Nah, he says that on basically every possible opportunity. It's a knee-jerk reaction you develop after supporting people in an IT capacity for any length of time ;).
