OK, so I was enabling and disabling services from services.msc, and I must have disabled some networking service. I try to print something from the other computer on my LAN (there's only two) and I notice I can't get in the other computer. I can get from my main computer into the second one but not vice versa.
Anyway, I started messing with my network, running the wizard, bla bla bla, and then I thought about the services, enable them, and I could get the network running... but no internet. I check the ip, it's messed up, like 169.something else... not the IP the DHCP was supposed to assign. I type ipconfig /release, nothing happens, then I type ipconfig /renew, and it gives me an error message. Both computers are set up right, and the dhcp is enabled on both and the router.
I tried messing with my router as well, restarting it, yada yada, nothing works now, not even the network. If I set a static ip, I can access the network but no internet. It gives the correct ip's when checking the ip, but no ****ing internet!

Any suggestions?
 
Oh, I forgot to mention that I did restore those services to default. I think that's exactly when the problem with the IP started.
 
Actually, I fixed it, I just restored the system a few days back and it works better than ever! :)
I knew that system restore feature would come in useful some day :D
