If your PC receive a automatic IP address from your router some times a IP reset is needed to reconnect. You might have a IP conflict, faulty settings or your router had a "hick-up".

  1. Windows/flag button + R
  2. Type and hit enter: cmd
  3. Type in followed by enter: ipconfig -release
  4. Hit the up arrow once.
  5. Hit the Return key 5 times.
  6. Click the buttons: n e w enter.

Bonus: While you are there also do a ipconfig /flushdns

(a right click on the connection icon on your taskbar and clicking repair will perform the commands automatically)
