EuroFight Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) What about DHCP on your router? Router DNS? Oh and try disabling the Microsoft WiFi Miniport Adapter in Device Manager Edited November 16, 2012 by EuroFight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Don't know about dhcp and dns, I'm connected to the school wifi. Where do I find the mini port thing? Device manager? It's not there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 If you can't find the Microsoft WiFi Miniport adapter don't worry about it, it won't be causing any issues. I assumed you knew about router configuration, but if you don't then go to 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1 on some routers) then find DHCP and ensure it is enabled. Then check if DNS is set to automatically obtain or your ISP's default DNS - let me know how it goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroFight Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 You may be able to 'Upgrade' from Windows 8 down to Windows 7...you might have to Google around a bit though to make the install think you're running Vista or something, perhaps run the setup.exe in compatibility for Windows Vista, but I don't know...
