IPCONFIG - Media disconnected

Solved/Closed
I'm on WinXP and my network card has the correct drivers.
When I run IPCONFIG /ALL
I get the following result: "Media status . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected"

Yet I've forced the address 192.168.0.1
mask 255.255.255.0

Shouldn't I have the indicated address?
As a result, I can't ping anyone on the network...

Please help before I take my laptop back to ACER!

  1. Hello,
    I had the same problem and here's what I did to fix it:

    1- Right-click on Network Favorite and click on Properties
    2- Locate your network connection, right-click and choose Properties
    3- Uncheck the box for Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click OK
    4- Restart the computer
    5- Reactivate the Internet Protocol TCP/IP and there you go!

    2. Thank you very much !!!! I was so desperate that I was even going to format my computer.

      It was THE solution because for the past 3 days, I haven't had access to the internet, even though my ATHEROS AR9285 card was activated, as was the wifi signal that showed 5 bars, but it said "LIMITED ACCESS" and I was the only computer in the house that couldn't access the internet.

      While browsing forums, I even reinstalled all my drivers, to no avail.
