You can also try to open an elevated CMD prompt and then type in the below:
net config rdr [enter]

That will also help.

I have just recovered the laptop from a system crash but unfortunately I had to install a different OS then the laptop came with because my recovery disks wouldn't work. The laptop now has VIsta Ultimate and I am having no issues connecting to the internet.

I tried steps 1-4 with all of the ipconfig commands, I got nothing, but I did get a new IP by doing a System Restore, I went back by about a week, and it worked fine. I know this is not the best solution but, if some of you are at wits end it's worth a try.
