You can try checking the logs (Right click `My Computer' -> Manage -> Event Viewer), sometimes there is something useful there (But I must admit not often).

Also try playing with your drivers, upgrade to the latest version if you haven't already, if the latest version doesn't work, try older versions, sometimes the latest version is broken (Yes, I know).

You can also try removing a device (Right click in device manger -> Uninstall), rebooting, and reinstalling ... Sometimes this helps ...

It currently has a great deal of difficulty getting addresses, and consequently using the Internet is pretty inconvenient.
You can't get an IP address at all? Or only sometimes?
When it does get an IP address, does the network function properly?
Did you try using a static IP address?
