Try to reset router settings to default state...
Be careful with this, because you might have to set up security again...
You have a button at the back of the router... Press it and you will reset your router settings...
Than try to connect...

ive tried that twice and it hasnt made no difference.

For which hardware device you have this error???
Well, if you did reset router and you still are not having proper private IP address,
this could be infection or system problem I am afraid...
Maybe you have port blocker infection or similar...

This is just my luck!
Is there anything i can do or should i just throw it out the window?

I suspect an Eset update yesterday, or a Windows update, or both maybe.
Reason is we've now had 4 callouts for what seems exactly this problem : all have : Eset Smart Security, Vista, and wireless.
I've just looked on the official Eset support site, and there's nothing there along these lines.
I fixed two laptops yesterday by setting them to a fixed IP (192.168.1.xxx) instead of DHCP. However this is not a good long term solution.
I will update this thread if anything else seems relevant.

how do i set my laptop to that fixed ip?

You have to change from Automatic IP Addressing to Static IP Addressing...
You need to enter IP address in range which your router provides [since your router is giving IP addresses in range: 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254]
you type static IP address for your laptop for example:

IP Address: 192.168.2.15

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: IP Address of your router, I think it is 192.168.2.1

I changed everything to what you said and rebooted. But now it wont even connect to my rooter. There is a yellow exclamation mark between the computer and network in network and sharing centre. But atleast it doesnt say unidentified network anymore.

i restarted it again. Its connecting to the router now but still not to the internet.

As you're using Eset, check this : http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page...nt&id=SOLN2277
This is a fix for a firewall issue in an update released on the 24th.
