Acquiring network address forever!

Feb 06, 2008 1 Replies

Ok...



I am running windows XP SP2 on both my desktop and laptop. I have a Zoom ADSL 6x Router and a Belkin High Speed Mode Wireless G USB Dongle.



I have been able to go online with my laptop many times before, but today when I try to connect it gets stuck on acquiring network address. My signal strength is to the max. I have it auto connect when in range, so I do not have to enter a key. My PS3 connects to it fine. I am using Windows Network Connections. I have all the TCP/IP on automatic. Rebooted and nothing works. Unplugged and plugged my USB dongle. Nothing works?



I can't think of any more information but I will give it if asked.



Thank you, Luke

Some setting must have changed. Suggest:

  • Checking the wireless router status screens to see if any security is on (e.g., WEP, MAC filtering).
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the USB Wi-Fi adapter.
  • Resetting the wireless router to hardware defaults and starting over. Disable all security settings when troubleshooting.
