Hi guys,
I came here many years ago and got an issue resolved and figured I'd give it another shot. I've been all over the internet and tried many fixes for this but nothing seems to work.
I guess I'll start with the rig...
My mother in law just gave me a Samsung notebook with an intel i5
It's got 64 bit windows 8.1 on it
Sorry I can't download the sysinfo or anything like that, I can't get it online in any way from home. No wifi or ethernet from my home router. If I have the spare time during the week I might be able to get it done on another network. (It does connect to other wireless)
I've tried all of the basic stuff like power cycling and resetting. Other devices connect to the router. I have a dell laptop and a desktop that use wireless and ethernet respectively. They both run windows 7 and connect just fine.
I can't do an ipconfig/release because I get the error messege that "An error occurred while releasing interface Wi-Fi-An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint.
I've tried to do the netsh reset commands but it won't let me reset. It says that access is denied. I've tuned the TCP, reset the driver to manufacturer and a few other tricks suggested online. Nothing.
I know the IP is bogus. It's a 169.254xxx number, but I don't know how to change that. A few forums talked about how to change that but the methods they described didn't get me where I was supposed to go on my rig.
ipconfig/all yields

I am noob as hell. You'll probably have to do a lot of hand holding with me.
Thanks in advance.
