Now I can't connect. It detects the router but will not aquire the network address.
according to this, then i guess the problem is with ur laptop.. !!!
since u can "see" the wireless network, and since the laptop is "trying" to acquire an IP address but it cant.. then maybe u should recheck the laptop settings.. !
- go to Start > Connect to > Show all connections..
- Right click "Wireless Connection", and choose "Properties".
- at the "This connection uses the following items" group, scroll down to "TCP/IP", and double click on it
- Make sure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" radio buttons, Both are selected..
- Press OK > OK..
- Right click the "Wireless Connection" again, and choose "Repair".
i guess this should do the job.
oh, one more thing, do u have a Firewall ? (not the Windows Firewall, i mean extra one, with Anti virus for example!!) if yeah, then try to disable it as well as the Windows Firewall, then try to "Repair" the connection..
