A few more things to try... If DHCP fails, set up a static IP based on a number within the address range being served by the router. My suggestion would be to use a number towards the outside of the range to help avoid conflicts.
Turn off your encryption on the signal until you can get it connected. Go into the adapter setup and choose 'let windows handle my wireless connection'. Then go turn on the wireless zero config service and restart it. The "helper" apps for networking, generally speaking, stink. Avoid them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 8:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NF] Laptop not connecting to the internet I've seen this happen before. 1. Make sure you have dhcp selected on the laptop, if not it's going to try to connect to the hard ip which may be in use, or not in the proper IP range. 2. Make sure dhcp client services is turned on. 3. Turn off your firewall just in case. 4. Make sure the dhcp IP Range that the router is giving out had enough available IP addresses. 5. Make sure you're connecting to the correct wireless network [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
