PC keeps searching for an IP address

My PC keeps searching for an IP address. Error on event log: 7000. Network Localtion Awareness. ??

I have manually assigned IP address and still no results. When I use DHCP it will assign DNS servers, but still will not go to the internet. There are no WINSOCK errors, I tried that already.

Solution:-Sounds like a firewall blocking access. If firewall is on try disabling it temporarily and then try to reconnect.
