Hey all...
I have a laptop (Dell Inspiron 6400 - running Microsoft Windows XP Home 2002 SP2) and my brother just set up a D-Link wireless router (model number DI-524). It's security enabled.
My wireless card is an Intel PROset one and it detects the available wireless network, allows me to enter the necessary security code, and then tells me that it is connected but has limited or no connectivity. When I troubleshoot, it says that the network failed to assign an IP address, and advises me to see my administrator to correct the problem.
There are two other computers in this house (one lap, one desk) that both access the internet wirelessly through this router, so I know it works. What's up with my little laptop?
Lots of good karma to the person that helps me out. Truckloads, in fact.
