Problem description: I recently bought a Thinkpad T420 for work. I get a DHCP error message when trying to connect to the wifi however. I can see the signal and it's got good strength, but no connectivity. I can connect fine at home. I can also fix this issue by uninstalling the two network adapter drivers in device manger and restarting, but it's not a great solution because I need to do it every day. I noticed I'm connected but it says there's no IPv6 connectivity, only IPv4.

Attempted fixes: Tried CMD IP release and renew but got a "media disconnected" error.

Recent changes: None. Bought this refurbished last week and works great otherwise.

Operating system: W7 64

System specs: T420

Location: U.S.

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Have you installed all available Windows updates and the latest drivers for the wireless adapter?
