I have a D-link AirPLus 802.11g router with a Linksys Wireless-G 802.11g USB adaptor on my notebook for internet access. My ISP is Earthlink Cable with Times Warner. The adaptor worked fine all along. But recently it couldn't get an IP from the DHCP server somehow. I checked its TCP/IP setting. They're all fine. It's set to automatically getting IP from the DHCP server. Can some of you experts help me to troubleshoot?
The status on the router shows
formatting link
Command IPCONFIG on the said notebook shows nothing for fields like
DNS Suffix Search list Connectionn-specific DNS suffix DHCP Server DNS Server
Its IP address is a self generated IP, different from
192.168.0.xxx.
I did ipconfig /renew. It would say it can't get an IP from the DHCP server.
The IPCONFIG on my other working wireless desktop, which has a D-link AirPlus Wireless 802.11g USB adaptor, shows:
C:>ipconfig /all
