Try going to the Control Panel -> Network Connections
and find your network connection...it is most likely
Local Area Connection. Right click on it and select
Properties. Scroll down and select Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP), click on the Properties button. Under the
General tab, make sure both selections for "Obtain an IP
address" and "Obtain DNS server" are set for "automatic".
If there are ip addresses listed and being used, they may
be incorrect and can not find the path to the server.
