Laptop never connects to wired or wireless network properly at first

Question

On a laptop whenever trying to use wireless or wired internet in the task bar it says "limited connectivity" and the internet cannot be accessed. If I right click on the icon and select "trouble shoot" it scans for errors and finds "DHCP is not enable, click fix to try to fix these problems as administrator". Then the internet is accessible. How can I fix the problem so I can use the internet right when I turn on the computer?

I'm running Windows 7 on an HP laptop with a built in wireless adapter.

Answer 1

Go to Start, Control Panel, Network and Sharing Center, and on the left side, click on Change Adapter settings, click on the network adapter that you want to connect to, and in the window that pops up, click on the Properties button. In the next window, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). Click on the Properties button. Make sure the Obtain IP Address automatically and Obtain DNS Server Address radio buttons are selected, then click Ok, and close the rest of the windows. It should then connect to the network on boot.
