No matter what I do I am unable to get a windows 7 computer to connect to any networks. Wired or wireless, I always get a "limited access" error. I have searched google for possible solutions and have been u able to find any

I had this problem for the longest time when troubleshooting my neighbors computer. After about a four hour headache I ran System File Checker. This fixed it instantly.

1Yeah yes I remember having to do this before. Thanks for reminding me. I will let you know if it works.– TheXedJul 20, 2012 at 1:38
Try uninstalling the driver and reinstalling the driver and reboot your computer I encountered a problem similar to yours at a pharmacy that needed technical support.
Also try to reset the router and then see what happens.
Its most likely a driver error. Check your device manager and make sure that you have a network adapter driver, and that its up to date, (IE there isn't a little exclamation mark next to it.) If you recently installed windows, its possible that you either didn't install the network card/driver, or that its not properly configured. What kind of laptop do you have? I would recommend going to the manufacturer site and manually updating your drivers.
Seems like you don't fill "Default gateway" for TCP/IP v4?

Default gateway is not required for IPv4 but it is sensible to use it. For DHCP, it should be set for you though not all routers provide it. Jul 19, 2012 at 21:56

AFAIK, gateway is "required" for Windows 7, otherwise network will be "Unidentified".– MaximusJul 19, 2012 at 22:57

You might be right about W7, I can't confirm because all of my networks have it set correctly - I am "old school" after all ;) Jul 20, 2012 at 8:59
ipconfig /all
?
