Drop into the command line by typing the following into the Search programs and files section:
cmd.exe
Once you're in the command line, execute this command:
ipconfig
A slew of results will be displayed. Typical example will be (never mind the IPv6):
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::6c4c:c1ad:f4bc:908f%15
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.102
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
If you get a Default Gateway, try to ping it:
ping 192.168.1.1 (of whatever ip address you got)
If you get a reply similar to this:
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=64
Then you have a connection. With that, you may try the following to get the DNS information:
ipconfig /all
And look for this entry:
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 124.104.135.70
58.69.254.83
58.69.254.136
Try to ping any op the IP addresses shown. If the ping was successful, then the issue is with the application. If the request timed out, try to renew your IP Address by:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
