Help, problem with wireless setup

kazper

hi everyone, hope someone can help me this problem, i work in an office and we are setting up broadband on all computers, have set up 4 successfully but 2 continue to evade me, these are all wireless using netgear adapters, adapters install fine and connect fine, signal strength excellent but then it comes up that i have limited or no connectivity, it seems it is having trouble obtaining ip address. how do i overcome this, others connected fine and didnt have any of these problems. I click on repair and it comes up invalid ip addres, hope someone can guide me in right direction

What DHCP range have you set your wireless routers to provide? Are there enough? Do you have the machines set up to use DHCP or fixed IP addresses?

Yikes this is where i get into bother, i have no idea about either of those things, i set mine up at home with no hassle of these things, any help is very much appreciated, my day off on friday hangs on this lol. oh and the router is eircom netopia if that helps at all

If you turn off one of the machines that is currently working, does one of the ones that isn't start to?

What Eircom box are you using? Its possible that they may have capped the upper limit of wireless connections at 4.

Router is netopia 3347nwg, when i turn off all other machines, this one still doesnt work, dont think there is a cap as we have set up very same package with same system in our local hall and that has 10 pc's
