Go to Network Connections folder, right click the local area connection you are trying to use, choose Properties.  Select TCP/IP protocol, click the Properties button.  Set it to obtain an IP address automatically and obtain DNS servers automatically.

You may need to right click the connection again and "repair" it afterwards.
