Limited connectivity notification

Running windows 8 and the last 2 days on startup I get the little icon with the triangle exclamation point saying I've got limited connectivity. Weird thing is, my network is running fine. I can access the internet, I even tried going to random sites not in my bookmarks, and on my LAN I can access all my other pcs and my server. Not sure what this is about.
 
Does your router have DHCP enabled? If not, your computer may have an APIPA address and will have the 'limited connectivity' triangle until you receive an IP address that has been assigned by your DHCP server on the router.

Do an ipconfig /all and see what your IP address is... if it's 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, then you have an APIPA address and there's an issue with your DHCP server.

Ran ipconfig /all and I have an appropriate ip address and dhcp is also assigned an address. Tunnel adapter says dhcp is not enabled, but I think that's supposed to be that way (?).
 
have you tried rebooting your router?

Last resort, you can try this:
1. Unplug the network cable, turn off the router/modem.
2. Hit Win-R, type 'cmd' and hit enter (or Start > Run > All programs > Accessories > Command prompt)
3. Type 'ipconfig /release' (without quotes) and hit enter
4. Type 'ipconfig /flushdns' (without quotes) and hit enter.
5. Type 'netsh winsock reset' (without quotes) and hit enter.
6. Type 'netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt' (without quotes) and hit enter
7. Type 'netsh int reset all' (without quotes) and hit enter
8. Type 'netsh routing reset all' (without quotes) and hit enter
9. Type 'netsh routing dump' (without quotes) and hit enter
10. Plug in network cable and turn router/modem back on.
11. Wait 5 minutes.
12. Type 'ipconfig /renew' (without quotes) and hit enter.
13. Check connection status again. It should say 'Connected'.

I haven't yet. I'll give this a shot when I get back from running some errands and report back.
 
Just an update, I installed a few updates and restarted the pc and the notification is no longer there. Weird. Everything appears to be fine now. Thanks for the help anyways.
