Another wireless connection problem

bucks73

The brother has a lappie and a pc both on his wireless network. eircom and using a netgear router, the lappie has its own card and the pc has a netgear usb wireless adaptor.

The lappie is working fine but the pc is having problems. It can view and connect to the wireless network but the connection is limited or none. The reason it gives is that it cannot assign a network address.

I have checked all the settings on the pc and checked them against my own settings too and can not for the life of me figure it out.

Any help whatsoever would be much appreciated.

Check the WPA password that you've set on the laptop. The logs on the router should slso have some indication of what the problem is.

Cheers Foxweeod but found a couple of cures after googling. Should have done that first I suppose but thought I would try here.

Anyway just for the record I found the fixes here:

and am off to try it them out soon. Will post if this worked or not.

Edit: Just an update. This sorted out the problem.

If you have an error "Limited or No Connectivity" on your wireless network have a look at the page above.
